Résumé
Exposure and education in urology for medical students (MSs) and junior doctors (JDs) have long been overlooked, resulting in inadequate preparedness for the management of urological cases/patients. This study addresses this deficiency through the implementation of a Urology Teaching Programme (UTP) and the creation of an Out-of-Hours Urology Handbook (OOHUH). The UTP was delivered virtually, targeting senior MSs and JDs, and covered common urological presentations and management pathways from a JD's perspective. The OOHUH aimed to enhance the care provided by general surgery senior house officers (SHOs) at Lister Hospital (Stevenage, UK), offering guidance for nine common urological conditions in emergency and out-of-hours settings. Both initiatives demonstrated significant improvements in knowledge and confidence in urology. The findings underscore the importance of supplementary urology education and suggest strategies for bridging training gaps in medical curricula and clinical practice. Recommendations include tailored induction programs and simulation days for junior doctors, along with the widespread adoption of such educational interventions to enhance patient care and trainee preparedness in urology.
