As the President of BAUN, I am honoured to invite you to join us in Manchester for our 2026 Annual Conference.

The main conference will be held on Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th October, with pre-conference workshops available on Sunday 18th October.

If you have never attended a BAUN conference, consider making this year your opportunity to join colleagues and friends to celebrate the success of UK Urological Nursing. Our Association continues to thrive, and so does our Conference, so be sure to secure your place early.

Attending BAUN conference offers much more than just the opportunity to listen to our exceptional speakers. It provides a valuable chance to connect with fellow health professionals who share a urological interest, allowing for the exchange of inspiration, knowledge, and experiences. Additionally, it fosters the development of relationships with other nurses who comprehend your work, challenges, and career aspirations.

It is your time to shine and celebrate! Every BAUN member is deserving and capable of winning one of our awards. Whether you're looking to kickstart your presenting career, are an experienced speaker, or wish to showcase your work by submitting a poster, there is an award category for you. Celebrate your achievements by nominating your team, a colleague, or even yourself. Participating is a fantastic way to express your appreciation for your colleagues and knowing that you have been nominated is a wonderful feeling. Carefully review the submission guidelines, and you can craft an application that truly highlights your nominee and ensures you meet the criteria for shortlisting.

Continuing on the success of last year's conference, our outstanding speakers are poised to motivate, educate, and inspire you. The complete conference program will be available soon.

On behalf of BAUN, I eagerly anticipate welcoming you to Manchester to celebrate the exceptional talent in UK Urological Nursing.
