Urology Awareness Month is an annual campaign to raise awareness of urological diseases including prostate, bladder, kidney and male reproductive cancers and non-malignant conditions including incontinence, urinary tract infections (UTIs), erectile dysfunction and kidney stones.
It is an opportunity to bring together the urology community – researchers, urologists, nurses and allied healthcare professionals, influencers and decision makers, patients and their families - and all those with an interest in urological diseases.
This year’s theme is bladder health and in particular urinary tract infections (UTIs), urinary incontinence and bladder cancer. Throughout the Month we will be highlighting stats and facts on bladder health alongside launching new videos, delivering webinars, holding Roadshows and health and well-being sessions.
Commenting, Mims Davies MP, said:
I’m proud to be supporting Urology Awareness Month this year. One out of every two people will suffer from a urological disease at some stage in their life, making it one of the most widespread health issues in the world. Let’s make sure that the UK continues to lead the way in ensuring patient choice and safety for those who rely on medical devices every day.
