Everything I wish I had on my first urology on-call.
A quick-reference app for real-world urology on-call.
700+ combined App Store + Google Play downloads as of August 2026
UroRef ecosystem
One urology learning bench, four specialist tools.
UroRef is the quick-reference layer. These companion projects open the same clinical ideas spatially: prostate MRI, renal stones, operative rehearsal and cystoscopy.
Designed for real on-calls
Built around common scenarios faced by trainees.
Fast and practical
Focused on quick access rather than long guidelines.
Structured and accessible
Information organised for clarity under pressure.
The same content, in your pocket.
Downloaded 700+ times across the App Store and Google Play as of August 2026. UroRef the app is the on-call companion to this publication: procedures, emergency decision trees, drug doses, calculators, clinic frameworks and BAUS leaflets. The core reference library works offline. Ask Ariadne and some site-aware or externally linked resources require an internet connection. Do not enter patient-identifiable information into connected features.

† Early feedback from a three-site quality-improvement evaluation. This preliminary, self-reported measure did not assess clinical competence, patient safety or patient outcomes.
“Sometimes someone suddenly asks you, ‘What’s monopolar versus bipolar?’ and your brain freezes.
The answer is simple — but in the moment, even simple knowledge can feel briefly out of reach.”
UroRef was built during training to make those moments easier, by organising commonly used information into a more accessible format.
