Given that Siobhan was pregnant on appointment of this role she subsequently had some time away before returning in 2021 in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Sarah Henderson Best Poster Award
WINNER
Sarah Wills-Lee, Urology Nurse Specialist, Cleveland Clinic London
'To What Extent is Education for Urinary Catheter Insertion and Management Offered to Registered Nurses in the UK?'
This year both Jane Brocksom and myself (Anthony Shanahan) had the privilege of judging the Sarah Henderson Award. The quality of the posters were of a high standard and we were both proud of every poster submitted this year
The posters submitted comprised of awareness, educational and research based pieces of work. Their chosen topics all related to aspects of Urology Nursing that no doubt benefitted every reader. The topics ranged from Catheter Care, Management of MS and Spina Bifida, Patient awareness and prostate biopsies. These posters covered most of the sub-speciality aspects within urology nursing
The reasons this poster was chosen as the winner was firstly, the layout and the way it was written was of an exceptional high standard. The topic was very important and we feel that it would relate to urology nurses nationally and internationally. This piece of work showed that a lot of time and effort was put into achieving this research.
We are hoping to see the full and final version as an article within the IJUN.

The quality of the oral presentations this year, has as usual been extremely high standard and this made judging both challenging but also pleasurable as well. The winner was chosen because they were very eloquent, they met the requirements for the time keeping, and ticked all the boxes on a subject that is very important to all urology nurses up and down the country.
