Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand

Commonwealth of Urology

The Commonwealth of Urology is a new section of the BJUI, which is published on the BJUI’s website, rather than in the paper version of the journal.

It includes articles of general interest from anyone associated with the community of Urology in its widest sense.  Anyone with an interesting story to tell relating to urology will be welcome to submit to Commonwealth of Urology.  The sort of articles we anticipate receiving include reports on visits to urology centres, experiences raising charitable funding for urological causes, descriptions of life working as a urologist or nurse in individual countries, or experiences as a patient. We will welcome pretty much any story someone wishes to tell, provided there is some (even weak) link to urology.

We encourage inclusion of photographs and pictures.  There is no need to stick with the standard introduction/ methods/ results/ conclusions format of a clinical paper, as this would hinder the narrative that we think will ensure the human interest element of the items. There is no limit on length.  Articles will be reviewed by the editorial team of the BJUI but will not be sent out for peer review; therefore, items will be rapidly incorporated into the BJUI website.  A statement of originality and transfer of copyright will be required.

We very much look forward to receiving your Commonwealth of Urology articles.
