Complete guideFull MedicMess editorial briefing

The 2026 BSUG/RCOG Annual Scientific Meeting in Urogynaecology is a two-day hybrid meeting at RCOG Headquarters in London. It is aimed at O&G consultants, trainees at all levels, specialist nurses, AHPs, physiotherapists and students with an interest in urogynaecology. The public programme covers mesh-free approaches, complex lower urinary tract symptoms, keynote lectures, social prescribing, new developments in urogynaecology, chronic pain, AI and MedTech, plus trainee and AHP workshops.

The embedded BSUG Annual Research Meeting is the key resident-facing research route. Abstracts are invited for original research and relevant audit or quality improvement work in any area of urogynaecology, including basic science and clinical studies. BSUG explicitly excludes case reports but says it accepts all other study types. Abstracts must use Introduction, Methods, Results and Conclusions, with a strict 300-word limit, up to five references and one table or figure. Submissions are blind reviewed, so the abstract text, references and figure/image must remove names and hospital/place identifiers. Human-subject research needs ethical approval details, and randomised trials need registration details.

The deadline is Wednesday 2 September 2026 at midnight. Work must not already have been presented at a formal national UK specialty meeting where CME credits were available, or published in a scientific journal. Top-scoring abstracts are selected for oral presentation; remaining accepted abstracts are offered posters. The 10 selected oral presenters receive free registration for the main presenter only, while poster presenters pay full registration. Prizes are advertised for best abstract, oral presentation and poster, and accepted conference abstracts may be published on the BSUG website and in a peer-reviewed journal.
