The urology department provides a multidisciplinary service offering a broad range of diagnostic tests and treatments to adult patients across the West Midlands region requiring intervention for general urology conditions or specialist intervention for cancer, neuro-urological conditions, complex female urological conditions or male/female reconstructive surgery.  

The clinical team comprises of seven consultant urologists and nine clinical nurse specialists. In addition, the department also has a 25 bed inpatient ward.

As the department is actively involved in the training of student nurses and doctors, a student may observe your test/treatment under supervision (your consent will be obtained).
