Urodynamics is often poorly understood by patients, which contributes to anticipatory anxiety about the experience and misconceptions about its purpose. Current patient-facing educational resources on this topic (e.g., YouTube videos) have a number of shortcomings in terms of quality, accuracy, sensitivity and relatability. 

To address this unmet need, the EAU Patient Office and EAU Section of Functional Urology formed a partnership to create a definitive new patient educational programme on urodynamics. The project has received official backing from other leading societies, including ICS, INUS and EUGA, and features experts from a range of countries across Europe and North America.

This e-course will explain the programme’s  approach, structure and modular components, showcases clips from live action filming and animation and describes the plan for piloting, launch, translations and global accessibility.

Speakers:

  • Dr. M.R. Van Balken (NL)
  • Prof. E. Finazzi Agrò (IT)
  • Dr. A. Rantell (GB)
  • Drs. M.L. Van Poelgeest-Pomfret (NL)

This e-course is brought to you in collaboration with the EAU Patient office and the EAU Section of Functional Urology.
