You are invited to the upcoming free UROwebinar, “Public awareness of UTIs and the fight against antimicrobial resistance” organised by the European School of Urology, the EAU Guidelines Office, the EAU Patient Office, and the EAU Section of Infections in Urology.

You will receive important updates and gain insights from the following experts:

Moderator: Assoc. Prof. Zafer Tandogdu (GB)

Presenters: Prof. Dr. Gernot Bonkat (CH) & Mrs. J. Meijlink (NL)

Date: Wednesday, 24 September 2025
Time: 18:30 – 19:30 CEST

This UROwebinar is designed to equip participants with a deeper understanding of cystitis and urinary tract infections (UTIs), with a focus on public awareness and education.

By the end of the UROwebinar, the attendees will be able to:

• Identify common knowledge gaps and misconceptions about cystitis and UTIs among the general public.
• Recognise specific demographics—such as age groups and gender—that show lower awareness of UTI causes, symptoms, and prevention.
• Understand how antibiotic overuse, often driven by public misunderstanding, contributes to the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance.
• Appreciate the importance of public education, particularly for younger generations, in preventing infections and curbing resistance.
• Explore practical strategies for effectively communicating key UTI information to the public, including leveraging social media and other modern outreach channels.

This UROwebinar provides both the scientific insight and practical tools to enhance public understanding, helping healthcare professionals contribute to infection prevention and responsible antibiotic use.
