Ketamine induced uropathy (KIU) has rapidly become one of the most urgent and complex bladder health challenges facing clinicians across the UK. With cases rising sharply among young people and frontline services under increasing pressure, our Bladder Health UK study day brings together leading experts in urology, addiction psychiatry, pelvic health, psychology and primary care to share the latest evidence, best practice, and real world clinical insights.

This one day event is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge, confidence and practical tools needed to recognise, assess and support patients living with ketamine related bladder harm. Through a mix of keynote talks, clinical updates, multidisciplinary discussion and specialist-led sessions, delegates will gain a deeper understanding of the condition and the pathways that can improve patient outcomes.
