Summary 

The European Working Time Directive (EWTD) poses challenges for out of hours management of the acute urological patient. With the introduction of the “Hospital at Night” team or cross specialty cover, there may be limited onsite urological experience out of hours. One of the commonest urological emergencies is acute stone colic. For the on call team to provide a safe and quality service, the BAUS Section of Endourology has produced guidelines for the emergency management of urolithiasis.
