British Association of Urological Nurses
The British Association of Urological Nurses (BAUN) is a UK-based charitable organisation (registered charity number 1140616) established to advance standards in urological nursing and support the professional development of urology nurses. Founded in 1992 as the British Urology Research Nurse Support Group (BURNS) by urology nurse Sarah Heatley, it adopted its current name in 1995[3].
Objectives and Activities
BAUN promotes high-quality urological care through education, research, and collaboration. Its activities include organising annual conferences, regional study days, and workshops focused on clinical skills such as flexible cystoscopy and prostate biopsy[3][4]. The association publishes the International Journal of Urological Nursing, which disseminates research and best practices[1][2].
Governance and Membership
Governed by an elected council of working urology nurses, BAUN requires full members to hold Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) registration. Associate membership is available to global healthcare professionals with an interest in urology[3].
Historical Developments
BAUN’s inaugural annual conference occurred in 2001, later becoming a key event in its calendar[1][4]. The association collaborates with entities such as the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS) and academic institutions to influence policy and practice[1][3]. It also established guidelines for urological nursing and supports educational initiatives like the Eileen O’Hagan Lecture series[1].
Publications
Its International Journal of Urological Nursing provides peer-reviewed content for urology professionals, included with membership[2][3]. Quarterly newsletters update members on industry developments[2].
