Post-qualification education of nurses in urology

In the Czech Republic, nurses have limited access to post-qualification training in urology compared to some foreign countries. These countries allow nurses to provide extensive care, including prescribing medications, which is not common in the Czech Republic. Studies highlight that expanding nurses' competencies in urology results in improved clinical outcomes and more efficient service delivery. However, barriers include inconsistency in the nurse role designation and the absence of a regulatory body in the Czech Republic. Support from the health care team and professional organizations is critical to the success of the development of this field.

Keywords: specialist nurse education, urological nursing, competencies.
