The Victorian Urological Nurses Society (VUNS) was established in 1993 with the purpose of providing a communication network for those nurses with a special interest in Urological nursing.
The society provides a forum for education, research, information sharing, facilitates access to relevant resource material and promotes the highest standards of care in Urological nursing.
To achieve this purpose educational meetings, which are open to all members and affiliated trade members, are held on the first Wednesday of every second month. As an adjunct to educational meetings a bi-monthly newsletter is produced. This allows for dissemination of educational material as well as keeping members informed of coming events in the world of Urological nursing. VUNS endeavors to hold a country educational meeting annually.
An elected committee coordinates the activities of the Society. This committee is elected on an annual basis and holds monthly executive meetings. VUNS follows the guidelines set out in its Statement of Purpose.
The evolution of VUNS has been rewarding experience for urology nurses. The introduction and continued growth of the Graduate Certificate in Urological and Continence Nursing and the Post Graduate Diploma of Nursing Science in Urological and Continence Nursing offered through La Trobe University has given nurses with a passion for Urology an avenue to extend their knowledge.
More information about this source is detailed on the Education page of this site.
VUNS members have also been instrumental in the founding of the Australasian Urological Nurses Society (ANZUNS). This national body has been established to provide a communication network between State Urological Nurses Societies, including affiliation with international Urological nursing organizations. Membership of VUNS provides automatic membership of ANZUNS
