This year’s British Association of Urological Nurses (BAUN) annual conference is being held on Monday 26th and Tuesday 27th November at the Bournemouth International Centre.
Registration is available on the conference website. Please visit: www.baun.co.uk/baun-conference/
BAUN are acutely aware of the new Medtech Europe Codes of Practice which are now in place and apply to all MedTech Europe Member Companies to maintain ethical interactions with Healthcare Professionals and Healthcare Organisations. This means that industry will no longer be able to provide direct funding to individuals.
BAUN acknowledges this and will be looking at further opportunities where we can, to support this transition. So don’t let this put you off attending the main urology event of the year as there are many other alternatives that can be explored.
- The most straight forward way is self-funding
- Check if your own NHS Trust has received funding via a specific Educational grant for the conference attendance
- If you have historically been funded by a specific company, be proactive and approach them yourself to see whether they have any educational grants on offer
As ever this year's conference programme is packed and varied to ensure there is something for everyone, making BAUN 2018 the must attend event for nurses and practitioners working in urology.
The Programme
