ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting

High-quality nurses programme

We are proud to announce the 2024 edition of the ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting which will take place 11-13 September 2024. 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.

  • See the ERUS-EAUN24 Nursing Programme here

From 11-13 September you will have full access to the regular ERUS24 programme with live surgery if you register for the 3-day meeting. Alternatively, you can register for the 1-day nursing programme on 11 September only.

ERUS-EAUN Hands-on Training Courses

Join our exclusive Hands-on Training at the French Intuitive Headquarters!

The goal is to give access to advanced training in robotics and to provide more keys to nurses who already have experience in robotics. These training courses are dedicated to teams that have had access to the da Vinci for at least one year. The aim is to provide more efficient, self-sufficient solutions for complex cases or emergencies. The training will also provide additional skills for the organization of the operating room prior to surgery.

  • Advanced trouble shooting scenarios: Dealing with faults both recoverable and non-recoverable faults.
  • A Practical guide to improving safety and efficiency with the robotic theatre team includes peer to peer collaboration and best practice solutions.
  • Dealing with Emergency Scenarios: (1) CPR (2) Bleeding (Controlled and Uncontrolled) (3) Unrecoverable Fault (4) General Trouble shooting and Fire evacuation.

Attendees will:

  1. Have a better understanding of robotic trouble shooting and how to minimise disruption during the procedure as well as creating a high quality efficient robotic team.
  2. Be able to discuss common pitfalls and strategies within the theatre environment whilst broadening your scope of practice and enhancing the patient experience.
  3. Have an improved understanding of how to implement refresher sessions and workflows for their individual hospital base.

What’s included?

  • 3 hours of training
  • Convenient transportation to and from the congress venue
  • Lunch

ERUS-EAUN Abstract submission

The abstract submission is closed

This year for the first 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 ERUS-EAUN Nursing programme on 11 September.

ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting Learning objectives

  • Increase the understanding of the bedside role of the nurse in the operating room
  • Offer extensive in-depth knowledge of the most common urological procedures such as prostate cancer, kidney cancer and bladder cancer as performed today
  • Deepen the knowledge of the patient´s pathway from diagnosis to surgery
  • Increase awareness of the importance of having the right competences in the operating room
  • Define the role of the operating room nurse in robotic surgery
  • Enable the participant to take part in discussions how to handle minor and major complications in robotic assisted urology surgery
  • Address the importance of a skilled robotic team and team efficiency in the operating room, including crucial knowledge on how robotic surgery affects the patient
  • Inspire both OR Nurses and RNFAs in their daily work in the operating room to achieve a higher satisfaction and joy in their field of expertise
