Daniela Andrich

Daniela Andrich, MD, MSc, FRCS (Urol) is a Consultant Reconstructive Urological Surgeon at University College London Hospitals and an Honorary Associate Professor at University College London.

She is internationally recognised for her expertise in reconstructive urology, particularly urethral reconstruction and the management of complex iatrogenic urological injury, including urinary incontinence, urinary fistulae and bladder-neck contractures following prostate cancer treatment or pelvic radiotherapy. Her clinical and academic interests also include the prevention of catheter-related urethral injury.

She served as President of the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons (GURS) from 2015 to 2016 and, in 2007, founded the annual GURS-Masterclass in Genitourethral Reconstructive Surgery, which she continues to direct.

She is also Founder and CEO of Urethrotech Ltd, which developed and commercialised the Urethral Catheterisation Device (UCD®), designed to make difficult male catheterisation safer, taking a patented medical device from concept through regulatory approval and commercialisation across multiple major markets.

Education and patient safety have been longstanding themes throughout her career. In 2020, she founded the Advanced Urinary Catheterisation Academy (AUCA) to develop scalable training in urethral catheterisation and structured escalation for difficult catheterisation. From its inception, AUCA has also hosted the annual GURS-Masterclass, providing a sustainable independent platform for its delivery and international reach.
