 In February 2026 Nikita Bhatt, as her TUF Urolink Fellowship, completed a two-week scoping visit to Muljibhai Patel Urological Hospital in Nadiad, India, to explore how female and functional urology (FFU) services could be developed further. The visit highlighted both the need for more FFU training and resources, and the strong local enthusiasm to grow these services, with plans for future workshops and ongoing collaboration to help build local expertise.

  Congratulations to Musliu Tolani the first recipient of the BAUS Urolink Fellowship. This new initiative is an opportunity for colleagues from low and low-middle income countries to attend the BAUS Annual Scientific Meeting, and for an extended stay to undertake an observership in the UK of urological managements that may not be available in their home countries.
We received over 150 applications for this prestigious fellowship. Musliu Tolani impressively wrote and spoke about his ambitions to improve andrological care in Nigeria. We look forward to welcoming him in the UK later this year and hope that many of you will hear him speak about his experience during the BAUS Urolink session on Tuesday 16th June at the BAUS ASM.

Shekhar Biyani, Steve Payne, Will Finch and Mary Garthwaite then travelled on to Kamuzu Hospital in Malawi to deliver the 4th successful emergency urology skills course. In preparation for the course Emergency Urology Simulation training resources were created for the BUJI knowledge platform. These will help as a template and ensure continuation of the skills course in the future.
