10:30 - 11:00How to start cryotherapy
SpeakerS. Hieronymi, Frankfurt am Main (DE)
SpeakerU. Witzsch, Frankfurt am Main (DE)Webcast
Aims and objectives:
Improvements in cryotechnology have made cryoablation a true alternative or standard of care in patients with specific indications or in case of contraindications for other therapeutic modalities. A thorough understanding of the technology, procedure and cryothermal effects is challenging to both medical and nursing teams. A commitment to initial training and ongoing education is important to ensure continued optimal outcomes for the patients. This workshop aims to present an overview of both the practical and theoretical procedures that are currently in vogue in cryotherapy to improve the understanding of the nurse.
11:15 to 12:15: Symposium

Aims and objectives:
The Novartis-sponsored satellite titled, “Building on the Vital Framework to Improve Outcomes With Bisphosphonates” will provide insights for nurses on how they can support patients receiving bisphosphonate treatment. The symposium will educate the attendees on the importance of maintaining bone health throughout the treatment continuum in patients with GU malignancies through the administration of bone-targeted therapies. In addition, nursing strategies will be discussed that can contribute to improved treatment outcomes in patients with advanced GU malignancies receiving bone-targeted therapies (ie, pain control, improved quality of life, efficacy).

Good Practice in Health Care - Continent Urinary Diversion – introduction of the new guideline
Publication of this booklet was made possible by an unrestricted educational grant from ASTRA TECH AB
SpeakerS.V. Lauridsen, Copenhagen (DK)Webcast
Aims and objectives:
The new evidence-based guideline will be introduced and the process explained. This publication focuses on continent urinary diversion to complement the previous publication in this series on incontinent urostomy. These guidelines are intended to complement, or provide support to, established clinical practice and should be used within the context of local policies and existing protocols. A free copy is available in the session room for all delegates of the 11th International EAUN meeting.
16:00 to 17:00: Symposium
“Ins and outs” of intermittent catheterisation
Sponsored by HOLLISTER
ChairR. Pieters, Ghent (BE)
D.K. Newman, Berwyn, Pennsylvania (US)
Aims and objectives:
This workshop will provide an overview of the use of intermittent catheterization in clinical practice by focusing on the types of intermittent catheterization: no touch (or sterile) and clean technique. Historically, no touch intermittent self catheterization was the recommended procedure of choice. However, recently released intermittent catheterization guidelines have recommended changes to this practice by incorporating the use of “clean” intermittent catheterization, especially in the home environment. In light of these guidelines, nurses still base intermittent catheterization procedures on other factors as well: differential costs and medical insurance coverage; clinical judgment; and patient preference. All of these aspects will be reviewed and discussed.
