The Bruce Turner Award 2020
WINNER
Nicola Farnell, Urlogy Clinical Nurse Speialist, The Royal Wolverhamapton Trust
This year’s winner was chosen for the award because in her application, the passion and enthusiasm for all things urology really came through. Having qualified just 4 years ago she became a urology cancer nurse specialist in 2019, she has remained positive and hardworking throughout the coronavirus pandemic, assisted with the development of a database to track BCG patients which has been shared locally and is keen to continue with her education both academically and practically within the urology clinic with a view to ultimately educating future urology nurses – skills and actions that Bruce would very much have approved of. Her journey to urology started as a healthcare assistant on a urology ward and having qualified she is now looking forward to completing her masters.

Sarah Henderson Award for Best Poster
WINNER
Caroline Ahern, Clinical Nurse Specalist, National Rehabilitation Hospital, Dublin
'Ultrasonography and bladder volume accuracy: A comparative study using two portable bladder scannersand a 3D ultrasound system'
Despite what 2020 has thrown at us, it was humbling to have so many posters submitted. The calibre was very high and covered many areas of urological nursing. Theresa and I had the privileged job of judging them. Their research study identified that further research is required on the measurement of bladder volumes in those patients with irregular bladder shapes and that also in the presence of fibroids, residual bladder volumes can be falsely offended and that all scanners can underestimate bladder volumes.
