The MHRA, working with BAUS and the British Society for Urological Gynaecology (BSUG), has also developed a range of materials for clinicians and patients which are available on the NHS website. These include:

Vaginal tapes for SUI Vaginal mesh for POP

BAUS will continue to work with the MHRA, BSUG and the Department of Health to further develop and implement appropriate action plans.

European Assocation of Urology (EAU) Guidelines

The EAU produces evidence-based guidelines for the management of both benign and malignant urological conditions. Being guidelines (and not protocols), they are advisory rather than proscriptive.

How to access the full EAU guidelines.

In addition, the EAU has released an app containing a "pocket" version of its guidelines; to obtain this app, go to your provider's App Store and search for "EAU Pocket Guidelines".
