BAUS Talks: Beyond the Cystoscope

Conversations in championing change: Adham Ahmed X Mehwash Nadeem

British Association of Urological Surgeons

Conversations in Championing Change is a series of episodes produced by the Section of SAS and Trust Urologists (SSTU) for the new BAUS podcast BAUS Talks: Beyond the Cystoscope . 

It aims to shine a light on the people behind the profession. Through candid conversations with voices from across British urology, we’ll explore personal journeys, pivotal moments, and the values that shape clinical life. From early inspirations to leadership, innovation, and life beyond the operating theatre, this series is about discovering the stories that make up our urological community – and reflecting on where we’ve been, and where we’re heading.

Led by BAUS Section of SSTU Vice-Chair Adham Ahmed, he chats to our second guest, is Miss Mehwash Nadeem – a pioneering figure in the push for equality and recognition within British urology.

As one of the founders of the SAS @ BAUS Working Group, Mehwash was instrumental in establishing a permanent voice for SAS and Trust Urologists through the creation of the SSTU Section.

In this episode, she shares the personal motivations behind her advocacy, the obstacles she overcame, and what inclusive leadership truly looks like from the inside.
