Urology is the branch of medicine which deals with conditions and diseases of the prostate, bladder, kidneys and other parts of the urinary system, as well as conditions of the male reproductive system.

The boot camp educational experience is unique to Leeds and offers bespoke hands-on one-to-one training across 10 modules, covering different advanced skills for aspiring urologists, over a five-day interactive programme.

Facilitated by Medical Education Leeds, part of the Trust. Trainees have the opportunity to practice technical procedures on state-of-the-art simulators and receive expert guidance. Specific scenarios help develop the trainee's clinical judgment and decision-making skills. All of this is in a safe learning environment.
