ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting

High-quality nurses programme

We are proud to announce the 2026 edition of the ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting which will take place 9-11 September 2026. 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 9-11 September you will have full access to the regular ERUS26 programme with live surgery if you register for the 3-day meeting. Alternatively, you can register for the 1-day nursing programme on 9 September only.

ERUS-EAUN Abstract submission

The abstract submission will open on the 1st of March 2026. Deadine submission EAUN will be extended to 31 July!

This year for the third 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 9 September.

ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting Learning objectives

By the end of the programme, participants will be able to: 

• Evaluate the role of robotic surgery across the patient pathway, including perioperative technologies, service implementation, and outcome optimization in urological practice.
• Critically appraise current evidence and research relating to robotic‑assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) and associated surgical interventions, including emerging data, audit findings, and clinical studies.
• Apply principles of patient safety and risk management in robotic surgery, including complication prevention, ergonomics, and emergency preparedness strategies.
• Demonstrate understanding of workforce development and training models for robotic surgery teams, including the roles of nurses, first assistants, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
• Analyse and implement enhanced recovery and service improvement pathways, including day‑case surgery protocols and nurse‑led discharge models.
• Assess the impact of human factors and team performance on surgical outcomes, including communication, coordination, and structured training approaches.
• Explain key innovations in robotic surgery systems and processes, including robotic surgical choreography and high‑reliability system design.
• Translate research findings and best practice into clinical application, supporting continuous improvement in robotic surgical services.
