Urology Services
Trusted processes for elective recovery across the NHS
Our Understanding of Urology
Urology is a high-demand specialty within the NHS, covering the diagnosis and management of conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, prostate, ureters, and male reproductive system. Demand for urological services continues to grow due to an ageing population, rising incidence of prostate and bladder cancers, and the prevalence of benign conditions such as urinary tract obstruction and stone disease.
Urology backlogs can cause significant distress for patients, from delays in cancer diagnosis to prolonged symptoms of benign conditions that impact quality of life. Timely access to outpatient assessment, diagnostics, and surgical intervention is vital to ensure good outcomes, reduce patient anxiety, and meet national cancer and RTT targets.
At NCI, we recognise that Urology requires subspecialist expertise, efficient pathways, and close alignment with cancer and elective care standards.
