As you may be aware, September is Urology Awareness Month. As part of The Urology Foundations activities, they are asking nurses in the UK to respond to a two-minute survey on men’s urology health (and barriers nurses might face in supporting men). Complete the survey and share it among your networks, encouraging colleagues to apply. To complete the survey, click here: https://buff.ly/3SJdbGP
