The power of #RAS is now well recognized, but if asked whether minimally invasive RNU + Cystectomy + LND + intracorporal conduit was possible 10 years ago, people would have called us dreamers!🤖🦾 #Urology @Uro_Surgeon @kdimitrop1 @GrAthanasiadis

2026 brought about renewed investment in our Robotic Urology Service, enabling us to restart our Robotic Partial Nephrectomies locally in @NHSTayside. A big well done to all involved, including @keirandavid & the Theatre 7 Team

Streeting puts robotic surgeons at heart of 10-year plan for NHS on.ft.com/3TfDswf
Don’t forget about genetic/familial conditions predisposing to renal and urothelial tumours - it is easy to overlook them unless thought about! Great talk from @BlackmurJames at #BAUS25 👏🏻
I am over the moon to share the news that I have successfully interviewed for the post of Consultant Urological Surgeon with interest in Robotic Upper Tract surgery with @nhstayside today 🎉 This is a dream come true and I am forever grateful to my family, friends and mentors who have made all of this possible 🙏🏻❤️ After landing in Dundee in 2016 for FY training, this is what a full circle looks like! ⭕️

AGREE II Quality Assessment of National and International Clinical Practice Guidelines on Prostate Cancer Management by the OPTIMA Consortium out in @EurUrolOpen
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
This study, part of the OPTIMA project, assessed the quality of 16 national and international clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for #ProstateCancer using the AGREE II tool. The evaluation revealed that guidelines from organizations such as the European Association of Urology and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network scored the highest, while others, like the European Society for Medical Oncology, received lower scores due to methodological issues and limited patient engagement.
Overall, the findings highlight that while many CPGs maintain high quality, there is variability, and improvements are needed to ensure consistency and better applicability across all guidelines.

A brilliant first day at #URUK24 discussing the direction of RCC research with giants in the field. Looking forward to day 2 and our presentation (and Scottish experience) on Neoadjuvant SACT in cT3b+ disease! @MrAlexLaird @BlackmurJames #ScotRCC
Thought provoking day @ #URUK24 with the renal subgroup developing a strategy to support UK RCC research. Great discussion on future trials in Mx of localised RCC & novel imaging strategies to guide Mx. Looking forward to 2mrw! @BAUSurology @TUF_tweets
Well done @MatthewTrail 👏🏻
Proud of our colleague @MatthewTrail from @WghLothian @NHS_Lothian who is part of the team providing specialist training to urologists in Ethiopia along with the excellent other faculty. Great work Team Endourology!
