COVID UPDATE:

Due to the evolving situation with COVID-19, plans for the bootcamp are still in flux. While we intend to deliver the bootcamp in as close to its normal format as possible, there will be challenges in relation to social distancing and the use of PPE, which will mean some aspects will either be changed or not deliverable. Please be assured that the learning objectives remain the same and the aim is still to provide a comprehensive introduction to urological training at ST3 level.
