    EAUN edition: From burning to learning: Understanding UTIs

    This EAUN episode is about understanding urinary tract infections (UTIs). Rikke Nygaard Knudsen, Clinical RN, EAUN Board Member and Chair of the Danish National Society, is joined by Susanne Vahr Lauridsen, Clinical RN, Senior Researcher, former EAUN Chair and EAUN guideline group member, for a practical and engaging conversation on everything there is to know about UTIs. Drawing on extensive clinical and guideline experience, they unpack what a UTI really is, why it remains so common, and how to distinguish localised from systemic infections. The discussion brings guideline recommendations to life, with a strong focus on prevention and careful assessment rather than reflex antibiotic use. Particular attention is given to catheter-related UTIs, explaining why intermittent catheterisation should be preferred whenever possible. With clear examples from daily practice, the episode translates EAUN guidance into actionable insights, empowering nurses to make informed decisions and improve patient outcomes.

    Women in Urology – Dr. Skrodzka and Dr. Stivalet discuss redefining expectations in andrology

    In Episode 10, “My andrologist is a woman: Redefining expectations” of the series “Women in urology: Dare to thrive”, Dr. Marta Skrodzka (GB) and Dr. Nadja Stivalet (FR) explore how being a woman in andrology is reshaping professional practice and patient expectations. Drawing on their clinical experiences, they discuss why female andrologists may offer a different dynamic in consultations, particularly in sensitive conversations around sexuality, fertility and male health. The speakers reflect on trust-building with patients and couples, challenging traditional assumptions about gender roles in andrology. They also address misconceptions about the specialty, emphasising that andrology extends far beyond prostate care and spans all stages of a patient’s life. Through open dialogue, the episode highlights how visibility, communication style and empathy contribute to redefining what patients expect from their andrologist. Together, they make a compelling case for normalising and valuing women’s presence in this traditionally male-associated field.

    Public awareness of urinary tract infections and the fight against antimicrobial resistance

    In this episode on “Public awareness of urinary tract infections and the fight against antimicrobial resistance”, Assoc. Prof. Z. Tandoğdu (TR) is joined by Prof. G. Bonkat (CH) and Mrs. J.M. Meijlink (NL) to address one of today’s most pressing global health challenges. UTIs are among the most common bacterial infections worldwide, yet they are often wrongly perceived as minor conditions. This misconception can lead to overuse or misuse of antibiotics, fuelling the rapid spread of antimicrobial resistance. Prof. Bonkat shares insights from the EAU Guidelines on how responsible prescribing and clinical practice can help prevent unnecessary antibiotic use. Mrs. Meijlink shares the patient perspective, stressing the importance of accurate information and clear communication between doctors and patients. Together, the speakers explore how awareness campaigns, education, and collaboration across healthcare and patient communities are essential to reducing the burden of UTIs. They emphasise that antimicrobial resistance already causes millions of deaths each year and requires urgent, coordinated action. The discussion highlights practical steps for clinicians and patients alike, while reminding listeners that sustainable management of UTIs depends on both medical expertise and active public involvement.

    How can we optimise decision-making for complex/high-risk kidney stone patients? A discussion between Prof. Somani, Dr. Breeggemann and Dr. Bryant

    In this episode "How can we optimise decision-making for complex/high-risk kidney stone patients?"  Prof. Bhaskar Somani (GB) is joined by Dr. Matthew Breeggemann (US) and Dr. Timothy Bryant (GB) to explore the practical value and challenges of multidisciplinary collaboration in stone disease management.  The speakers reflect on how shared decision-making within a structured stone MDT can support better outcomes for complex or high-risk recurrent kidney stone patients. Using a real-life case example, they walk through the patient journey, examining how early specialist input and coordinated care can impact diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up. They discuss the current gaps in guideline implementation, particularly where patient complexity demands input beyond standard urological care. The role of nephrology, radiology and dietetics in MDT decision-making is highlighted, emphasising the need for clear communication and flexible protocols. The speakers also address challenges, such as delays in imaging or conflicting clinical opinions and how MDT formats can help resolve these through consensus-building. The importance of tailoring care to individual risk profiles is underscored, along with suggestions for integrating MDT principles into both large and smaller healthcare systems. The episode concludes with practical recommendations for centres looking to establish or improve a stone MDT. This conversation provides valuable insight for clinicians involved in managing stone disease and those working toward more coordinated care models. You can also listen to the previously released episode: Identifying high-risk stone formers: How can we improve early diagnosis and referral? A discussion between Prof. Somani, Prof. Ferraro and Prof. EmilianiAcknowledgment Medical writing support was provided by Accenture Song Life Sciences with unrestricted funding from Novo Nordisk, with no involvement in the programme or speaker selection.
