Together, we can inspire each other and meet future challenges

As I write, our incumbent BAUN president Clare Waymont will be nursing her aching muscles and basking in the sheer joy of completing the arduous Three Peaks Challenge. Along with teammates Nicola Teruel and Abbi Matthews (not forgetting trusty driver Helen Heap), Clare undertook this impressive venture to raise funds for our organisation. This incredible feat by Team BAUN Three Peaks aimed to promote the vital nature of urology nurses' work and the importance of investing in ourselves: namely educational, networking and professional development opportunities.

Urology nurses prioritise the needs of patients above all else, as is evident in our frequent fundraising activities for cancer, welfare and other patient-related charities. In a world where it is more difficult than ever to attend study days and take time out of work, it is vital that, as a nursing profession, we do everything possible to ensure patients continue to have access to a range of services.
