14:30 Urodynamics investigations, equipment and the working environment
Roger Lewis, retired owner of Lewis Medical A summary of the “what, why and how” of urodynamics, and an insight into of some of the issues. Roger Lewis is
originally from South Wales. After working in the NHS for 10 years in the operating theatres of a busy North London hospital, he went into the medical industry specialising in urology. In 1984 he started his own company mainly supplying urological equipment for the newly emerging field of endourology (keyhole surgery). He soon expanded to include urodynamic equipment which later became the main focus of the company. In 2014, Roger and his wife Ann decided to move back to Wales and he now lives in Carmarthen. He is no longer commercially involved in the medical industry. However, he continues to have a keen interest in urology, and does occasional consultancy.
