One of the most striking aspects of the congress was the pace of innovation across every area of urology. From conversations on the exhibition floor to insights shared during scientific sessions, there was a clear sense that the field is moving steadily toward more precise, patient-centred care. In particular, developments continued refinement and evolution of endourology and urolithiasis care. Alongside this, imaging and diagnostics continue to evolve at an impressive rate. New technologies are enabling earlier and more accurate detection of disease, which in turn supports more personalised treatment decisions. It was encouraging to see how these innovations are no longer theoretical but increasingly being integrated into clinical practice.

Minimally invasive and image-guided therapies were another consistent theme throughout the event. Live and recorded procedural sessions highlighted how far techniques have progressed, with a strong focus on precision, recovery times, and overall patient experience. The shift toward less invasive approaches is clearly not just a trend, but a fundamental change in how urological care is delivered.

Beyond the science and technology, what made the experience particularly valuable for us was the opportunity to connect face-to-face with our urology partners. These conversations gave us a deeper understanding of the challenges clinicians are facing in real-world settings, as well as the opportunities to work together more closely. There is something uniquely powerful about being able to exchange ideas in person, and events like EAU continue to play a vital role in strengthening those relationships.

Leaving London, there was a strong sense that urology is entering an exciting phase, one defined by greater precision, better use of data, and closer collaboration across the healthcare ecosystem. The insights we gained and the discussions we had will directly inform how we continue to support our customers moving forward.

Overall, our time at EAU 2026 was both energising and thought-provoking. It reinforced the importance of staying connected to the wider urology community and remaining engaged with the innovations that are shaping the future of patient care. We are pleased to offer our full stone mangement solution The-Complete-Stone-Management-Solution-from-HSL-V6.pdf

Following the successful deployment of the first Intelli-C Suite earlier this year, the second installation further enhances clinical capacity and operational flexibility. With both systems now live, the Trust is uniquely positioned to meet growing demand for high-quality diagnostic imaging and complex interventional procedures.

The Intelli-C Hybrid Suite unites fluoroscopy, radiography, and advanced interventional capabilities in a single, highly versatile platform. Its precision imaging and adaptable workflow tools empower clinicians to perform a broad spectrum of procedures with efficiency, accuracy, and confidence.

HSL’s home reporting set up for mammography promises to bring significant improvements to the reporting process, making it more efficient, convenient, and accessible for radiologists. Traditionally, radiologists have been required to be physically present in a dedicated reporting room to interpret mammograms. However, HSL’s solution allows for remote reporting from the comfort of their own homes, without compromising accuracy or quality.

By introducing a home reporting setup, HSL tackles several challenges faced by radiologists in the traditional reporting process. The flexibility offered by this setup enables radiologists to work remotely, eliminating the need for them to be physically present in the hospital. This not only promotes work-life balance but also facilitates the recruitment of radiologists from remote areas, ensuring faster turnaround times and improved access to expert opinions.

As the healthcare industry continues to evolve, it is evident that HSL’s home reporting set up for mammography is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of breast imaging and diagnostics.

Through its partnership with leading provider of premium display solutions LG, Hospital Services Limited (HSL) is not only facilitating the commission of an impressive volume of home reporting stations for trusts and private hospitals across the UK and Ireland, HSL also provides ongoing calibration and quality assurance services and offers independent assessment and maintenance of installations to ensure compliance and consistency whether at the hospital, clinic, office or home.

HSL and LG have partnered to deliver this technology into hospitals and clinics across the UK and Ireland over the past year following LG’s launch of their medical displays into the local market. The partnership most recently saw the commissioning of 49 diagnostic monitors delivered into the Belfast Health & Social Care Trust which will address the continued backlogs faced in Northern Ireland. By recreating the workplace environment in the home, LG and HSL are delivering a high level of professionalism, accuracy, and reliability for home reporting set-ups.

Working together to deliver efficiencies for resource-strapped radiologists, LG and HSL are reminding radiology teams of the importance of ongoing monitoring, calibration and maintenance of the at-home working environment to ensure it is best suited for the radiologist to undertake diagnoses.

Guidelines from the Royal College of Radiologists, ‘RCR Guidelines on Diagnostic Display Devices – Third edition Feb 2019’, contain strong recommendations in relation to diagnostic display devices and the ergonomic viewing environment and also advise that calibration of these devices is not just a one-off: “If commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) displays are chosen, a workplace must also operate and document a regular quality-control and calibration programme. Standards exist to ensure devices meet quality benchmarks throughout their working lifespans”. The report continues, “The viewing environment should be strictly controlled in the primary diagnostic setting. For clinical review the environment should be controlled as best achievable”. The NHS Breast Screening Programme (BSP) standard echoes the importance of ensuring quality control and continued calibration of screen set ups.

“Not only does home reporting offer a clear advantage for radiology departments under pressure, it can also encourage better access to specialists working within radiology teams as the patient is no longer constricted by geographical location,” said Graham Stewart, Commercial & Finance Director, HSL.

“Whilst the efficiencies and access provided by home reporting are certainly to be celebrated, it is of utmost importance that the quality of reporting and trust in diagnostics remains uncompromised. Healthcare providers owe it to their clinicians and patients to provide the best tools, an optimum environment, and correctly calibrated displays. To fully meet updated guidelines, our team supports the regular use of calibration software complimented with on-site visits to perform QA, calibration including 5 point uniformity, multi-monitor testing and visual pattern checks.” In addition to the maintenance and assessment of diagnostic tools and technologies, HSL’s specialist team also provides on-site ergonomic reports to help guide the implementation of the right solution for a friendly, ergonomic working environment for radiology professionals and wider disciplines including digital pathology.
