ABSTRACT
AIM: This paper reports on the recent publication and wide distribution of a joint statement on minimum standards for urodynamic practice in the UK. METHODS: A multidisciplinary working party were tasked with creating standards for both training and certification in urodynamics, as well as explicit standards for a framework of service delivery. This was done through a process of extensive consultation with relevant professional bodies. RESULTS: The standards suggest a modular structure to urodynamics training, and make recommendations on minimum workload for individuals and departments, the need for multidisciplinary team working and for regular audit. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first attempt to standardise urodynamics practice nationally. The document is available on the United Kingdom Continence Society websitewww.ukcs.uk.net.
