A 1 day, practical introduction course, aimed at junior urological trainees and urology nurses into the use of the flexible cystoscope.

You will also have the chance to perform safe stent removal during the course. At the end of the course you should have a basic knowledge of the normal bladder and be able to recognize simple pathology.
The emphasis during the course will be hands-on training on a range of physical models. The course delegates will also have hands-on practice to perform a complete cystoscopy on a Thiel embalmed cadaver. There will be short seminars and discussion sessions.
