Our Vision

AUCA exists to address a persistent gap in healthcare: the lack of structured, practical training in safe urinary catheterisation. We help healthcare providers deliver effective catheterisation training through high-quality, CPD-accredited education. By combining scalable e-learning, locally embedded practical skills programmes and academic collaboration, we aim to reduce preventable catheter-related harm and improve patient safety.

Our Academic Board

Our educational work is guided by international experts in reconstructive urology:

• Dr. Daniela Andrich, MD MSc FRCS (Urol) – Consultant Urological Surgeon, Honorary Associate Professor, UCL, UK
• Dr. Nichola Jeffery – Consultant Urologist, Royal Alfred Hospital, Sydney, Australia
• Prof. Margit Fisch – Professor of Urology, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany

Our Impact

AUCA’s model brings together three connected areas:

Licensed e-learning: Healthcare organisations can integrate AUCA courses into their learning management systems for accessible, standardised education, staff training and progress tracking.

Locally embedded practical training: We support hospital education departments in establishing sustainable, locally delivered AUCA practical skills programmes, including trainer development, implementation and competency assessment.

Academic leadership: The annual AUCA Conference provides an international forum for evidence, incident learning, implementation experience and evolving best practice in catheterisation safety.

Together, these elements enable knowledge to be delivered at scale, practical skills to be taught and assessed locally, and healthcare professionals to learn from one another across organisations and countries.

Our Long-Term Vision

Our vision is for safe urinary catheterisation to become a recognised healthcare priority, supported by consistent education, practical competency assessment, effective escalation pathways and organisational accountability.

AUCA aspires to become the global authority in urinary catheterisation training—helping healthcare organisations establish sustainable training programmes and influencing policy, professional standards and clinical practice.

Better training for doctors and nurses. Safer catheterisation.
