The UroGP 2018 program is still under development but it will include presentations by nationally and internationally recognised experts in the urology field. Over one day, the program will progressively explore the likely issues GPs face in different patient age groups and genders.
In the afternoon, the program will separate into two streams; GP stream and nurse stream. The nurses stream will include hands-on workshops for nurses.
