Current focus is on the fields of LUTD with BOO (bladder outlet obstruction), neurourology/ spinal cord lesions and CPPS/ IC (chronic pelvic pain/ interstitial cystitis. Our aim is to organize and promote educational activities within the Nordic countries, to facilitate clinical and research communication as well as Nordic research cooperation in these fields.

An educational course on the theme “Best practice in LUTD” took place at the NUF Congress in Reykjavik 2009. A Nordic clinical course on advanced urodynamics was held in Oslo in February 2010.

Our latest educational symposium on “New ideas in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of LUTD” took place at the  NUF congress in Tampere 2011. Latest scientific and clinical news on prevention of LUTD and ED were discussed. Treatment of BPH, voiding problems and incontinence using physiological training as well as surgical methods were covered by several Nordic experts from many different angles.

Next, a one day course on urodynamics featuring latest updates, workshops and patient cases will be arranged in Copenhagen 24 January 2012. Join us there!

We are also working on establishing a “Question and answer” forum for the Nordic countries on issues in neuro-urology and urodynamics.

Please feel free to contact members of the group with any queries, ideas, suggestions you may have on acitivities within our field! Looking forward to hearing from you!
