About Uronews

Uronews

Uronews, styled URO-NEWS, the Titel the Springer Medizin metadata records, is the German monthly specialist journal for urology in private practice, published by Springer Medizin. Operating under the guiding principle "from resident urological specialists for resident urologists," the Leitsatz the publisher states, the independent journal delivers professional-policy information, practice management guidance, and practice-oriented continuing education each month to resident urologists. With its certified CME module, the von der Bayrischen Landesärztekammer zur zertifizierten Fortbildung anerkannt module, short reports from the international literature, and a discussion forum for current urological questions, Uro-News serves the resident urology community as its professional companion.

Overview

The resident-urologist focus defines the journal's editorial program: the independent Fachzeitschrift written by resident specialists for the resident urologists, distinct from the university-clinic journals. The monthly berufspolitische Informationen, the monatlich berufspolitische Informationen the publisher lists, give the practice owners the healthcare policy intelligence they need for their business decisions.

The practice management journalism addresses the urological practice as the enterprise: the valuable Praxismanagement tips on the practice organization, the staff leadership, the billing, and the digitalization that the monthly issues carry. The practice-oriented continuing education, from the internationally recognized authorship, keeps the resident urologists clinically current on all relevant urology topics.

The CME module's Bavarian State Medical Chamber recognition gives the journal its certified education authority: the selected contributions in each issue, with the continuing education points collectible through the CME module. The international literature's Kurzreferate distill the global urology research into the practice-relevant brief reports. The discussion forum's current-questions debates give the readers the professional exchange platform.

URO-NEWS is an independent specialist journal, the unabhängige Fachzeitschrift the publisher describes, that appears monthly with professional-policy information, valuable practice management tips, and practice-oriented continuing education from an internationally recognized authorship on all relevant topics from urology. The journal's motto addresses the resident specialists directly: von niedergelassenen urologischen Fachleuten für niedergelassene Urologinnen und Urologen, the gemäß diesem Leitsatz the publisher states.

The monthly rhythm gives the resident urologists their regular professional briefing: the berufspolitische Informationen on the healthcare policy changes, the Praxismanagement guidance on running the urological practice, and the praxisnahe Fortbildung on the clinical topics. The broad thematic offering is supplemented by the Kurzreferate from the international specialist literature.

The certified continuing education is the journal's service core: a CME module with selected contributions, recognized by the Bavarian State Medical Chamber for certified continuing education, offers in each issue the opportunity to collect continuing education points. The discussion forum gives the readers the platform for all current questions around urology.

History

The late-1990s founding places Uro-News in the generation of German specialist journals that professionalized the resident physicians' continuing education: the independent journal for the resident urologists, distinct from the scientific society journals. The volume numbering's Volume 30 in 2026 traces the continuous monthly run back to the founding years.

The Springer Medizin integration gave the independent title the major publisher's reach: the journal's ID 92 in the Springer Medizin portfolio, the print ISSN 1432-9026, and the electronic ISSN 2196-5676. The uronews.de homepage's 2008 documentation shows the brand's early digital presence.

The subscription model's training-doctor pricing reflects the journal's professional community role: the UroNews 12-times-per-year subscription for doctors in training at 151.80 euros per year domestic, with the proof-of-training requirement. The monthly twelve-issue rhythm serves the resident urologists' regular education needs.

The journal's volume numbering documents its long publication history: with Volume 30 appearing in 2026, the Abdeckung Volume 13/2009 - Volume 30/2026 the metadata records, the Uro-News run reaches back to the late 1990s, when the resident urologists' independent journal was founded. The Springer Medizin metadata's coverage from Volume 13/2009 to Volume 30/2026 records the journal's continuous monthly publication.

The uronews.de domain served as the journal's homepage: the 2008 specialist presentation's reference to the supplementary material on the journal's homepage at www.uronews.de documents the brand's digital presence in the late 2000s. The journal's integration into the Springer Medizin portfolio gave the independent specialist title the major medical publisher's infrastructure.

The volume sequence shows the journal's steady growth: from the early volumes of the late 1990s through the 2009 Volume 13 to the 2026 Volume 30. The monthly twelve-issues-per-year rhythm has remained constant, with the 2024 issues carrying the urology news updates like the ultrasound agreement changes.

Coverage and Content

The healthcare policy journalism documents the regulatory changes affecting the urological practices: the 2024 ultrasound diagnostic quality assurance agreement between the Kassenärztliche Bundesvereinigung and the Spitzenverband Bund der Krankenkassen, with the changed examination quotas from January 2024 and the newly included AOP services. The Gerd W. Zimmermann-authored practice-concrete article shows the journal's policy news service.

The digitalization journalism guides the practices through the digital transformation: the December 2025 "Digitale Praxis – wann womit anfangen?" article by H. Gerlof, published in Uro-News Volume 29, addresses the digital practice's when-and-what questions. The practice-concrete rubric gives the readers the actionable digital guidance.

The pharmaceutical and industry journalism covers the therapeutic innovations: the December 2025 "Innovative Arzneimittel, die überzeugen" industry forum article, with the apalutamid and cytostatic therapy coverage, documents the industry forum's role. The January 2026 "Aktuelles Wissen praxisnah und kompakt" editorial and the "Wer schreibt, der bleibt!?" professional writing article show the journal's practice journalism range.

Uro-News covers the urology practice's full spectrum: the professional policy, the practice management, and the clinical continuing education that the monthly issues carry. The aims and scope name the current developments in urology, with the contents of professional policy, practice management, CME/certified continuing education, short reports from international specialist literature, and discussion forum.

The professional-policy journalism keeps the resident urologists informed: the 2024 issue's coverage of the KBV and GKV-Spitzenverband agreement on ultrasound diagnostic quality assurance changes, with the reduced examination quotas and the new AOP services, documents the policy news service. The digital practice articles, like the "Digitale Praxis – wann womit anfangen?" feature, guide the practices through digitalization.

The CME journalism delivers the certified continuing education: the selected contributions recognized by the Bavarian State Medical Chamber, with the continuing education points collectible in each issue.
