Who we are

• To act as the representative body for European nurses in urology and facilitate the continued development of urological nursing in all its aspects;
• To foster the highest standards of urological nursing care throughout Europe;
• To encourage urology research undertaken by nurses and enable the broadcasting of its results;
• To promote the exchange of experience and good practice between its members;
• To establish standards for training and practice for European urological nurses;
• To contribute to the determination of European urological health care policies
• To liaise and collaborate with other organisations in the field of urology, particularly the European Association of Urology.

The EAUN has a long-term strategy, defined through its Aims and Objectives for 2021–2030.

The EAUN Bylaws govern the organisation’s structure and operations. They serve as the official documents outlining its administrative framework and procedures.

The minutes of the EAUN General Assembly, that takes place at the EAUN International Meeting each year can be downloaded here.

The EAUN began with its first urology nurses’ meeting in Brussels in 2000, leading to the formation of a board in 2001. Since then, it has introduced guidelines, fellowships, webinars, podcasts, Special Interest Groups, and the Scientific Congress Office, and established the Annual International Nurses' Meeting and the ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting.

The European Association of Urology Nurses (EAUN) endorsement provides organisations, including non-profit organisations, with the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to high standards of urological patient care.
