Nurses
The EAUN represents approx. 2,300 nurses, all working in urological care. It is a lively, dynamic organisation with a focus on the importance of excellent urological nursing, especially for the patient. The latest developments in the nurses’ fields of interest are discussed at the International EAUN Meeting, which coincides with the Annual EAU Congress.
| Male catheterisation.. still a taboo practice for nurses? |
 | The role of females catheterising males was widely discussed in the English nursing literature in the 1990s, but there is little reported about Australian nursing practice. This study was designed to determine the attitudes and practices of nurses in Victoria surrounding male catheterisation in the 2000s.
Anonymous, self-administered questionnaires were distributed to a convenience sample of nurses in all departments at a major public teaching hospital and in a surgical and medical ward of a large private hospital, both in Melbourne. Neither hospital has a dedicated urology ward. |

| Realising a paediatric pathway in an Adult Urological Division |
 | Valle d`Aosta is a small mountain region in northwestern Italy, with a population of about 120,000 inhabitants (about 15% in pediatric age). The pediatric surgical pathologies are generally treated by surgeons involved in the adult specialties. Specifically in Aosta, excluding neonathal surgery, the pediatric urology represents almost 80% of pediatric surgical pathology. |
