The Urology department has expanded over the years to deliver a comprehensive service to our community.

A full range of diagnostic services are provided in the treatment centre allowing centralisation of resources to provide the required expertise for ambulatory diagnostics.

New Urology Unit

The new urology centre - based in the existing Treatment Centre on the main hospital site has now opened to its first patients.

The centre can carry out blood and urine tests, ultrasound and urine flow tests, cystoscopy examinations, and consultant appointments, often all on the same day.

When the service is fully up-to-speed it will mean the number of times patients have to visit the hospital for tests will reduce from as many as five or more down to one or two.

Consisting of three consulting rooms, three procedures rooms, a recovery room, ultrasound room, wellbeing room and two offices, the new centre means the number of different places patients need to go to for urology treatments in the hospital goes down from nine to three.
