ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting

High-quality nurses programme

We are proud to announce the 2025 edition of the ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting which will take place 10-12 September 2025. By collaborating with EAU and ERUS with a high standard in urological care, we are able to provide an educational platform based on best practice.

The aim of the ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting is to become the educational platform for OR nurses and RNFAs working in robot-assisted urology surgery. The nursing programme within the ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting includes sessions on the impact of robotics within the surgical pathway, non-surgical predictors of recovery, theatre utilisation and efficiency within the robotic OR, emergency scenarios, steps in becoming a first assistant in surgery, ergonomics, and 3D models. During the meeting there will be ample opportunity to network with key-opinion leaders, OR nurses and RNFAs working in robot-assisted urology surgery.

From 10-12 September you will have full access to the nursing programme and the regular ERUS25 programme with live surgery if you register for the 3-day meeting. Alternatively, you can register for the 1-day nursing programme on 10 September only.

ERUS-EAUN Abstract submission

Abstract submission has closed.

This year for the second time Abstract submission is available for OR nurses and RNFAs working in robot-assisted urology surgery at Europe’s biggest event dedicated to robotic urology nursing. The posters and videos will be presented during the EAUN nursing programme on 10 September.

Hands-on Training course for nurses with the newest da Vinci and Medtronic robotic systems

Join a focused 6-hour course with access to the newest robotic systems, as well as advanced training methods, utilising the latest in virtual reality and online platforms. This course also serves as a practical guide to improving safety and efficiency within the robotic theatre team. There are discovery sessions that feature both hands-on and augmented reality for the next generation in robotics. Additionally, there is a session on tele–surgery, exploring the capabilities of this innovative surgical approach and its future impact the role of the bedside assistant.

Please find the course programme here.

After participating you will:

1. Have a better understanding of the new robotic systems on the market, as well as how to utilise the latest technology to train and update your staff, whilst creating a high quality and efficient robotic team.
2. Be able to identify common pitfalls and apply effective strategies within the theatre environment, whilst broadening your scope of practice and enhancing the overall patient experience.
3. Improve your understanding for implementing refresher training sessions, and optimise workflows for your own hospital.
