About this event

  • Date and time Fri 18 Oct 2019 from 8:30am to 18 Oct 2019 at 11:30pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Urology

This meeting will focus exclusively on benign prostatic conditions, often neglected due to the deserved attention devoted to prostate cancer. We will explore both bacterial and non-bacterial prostatitis, and benign prostatic enlargement, a condition which affects the majority of men over the age of fifty. This meeting is aimed at consultant and specialist trainee urologists and surgeons. 

This meeting will:

  • Increase the awareness and understanding of prostatitis in particular non-bacterial, addressing the aetiology, pathology and management of this difficult condition
  • Discuss the pathophysiology of benign prostatic enlargement
  • Examine the development of treatments for the condition
  • Introduce and discuss the efficacy of some of the newer treatment modalities, many of which have received considerable press attention recently 
  • Help provide guidelines for individually tailored treatment, facilitated by case discussions and debate

President's dinner

A black-tie dinner will be held after the meeting at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, Royal Hospital Road, London, SW3 4SR. Directions to the venue can be found here.

Optional dinner pricing available until 17 October 2019.

Speaker's biography

Professor Nickel is one of the worlds leading experts on prostatitis, in particular, non-bacterial prostatitis including pelvic pain syndromes in men, one of the most common reasons men under fifty consult urologists. The condition is currently extremely poorly managed and this meeting seeks to provide insight into the condition leading to improved patient outcomes. No one in the world has published as extensively or spoken as widely as Professor Nickel on this area of urology.
