Health Service

Departmental facilities are excellent. While major elective and emergency urological surgery is carried out at Hospital Site A, outpatient work, day case surgery and urological investigations sessions are run on all of the Trust’s hospital sites. Urological investigations units are present on all three main hospital sites and provide a focus for the diagnostic investigations and ambulatory treatments that patients may require. In patient care is provided through a 34 bedded urology ward at Pinderfields.

The Department of Urology has been designated as a cancer team for major pelvic and upper tract cancer surgery within the region’s Cancer Network. Cancer team designation has allowed development of the uro-oncology service. The provision of advanced endourology, 3D laparoscopic surgery and robotic surgery is well established for both benign and malignant conditions affecting the upper and lower urinary tract.

The oncology service is supported by a team of specialist nurses, MDT and cancer-tracking administrative support and a departmental research team who have an excellent track record of supporting recruitment into clinical trials. The care of patients who are admitted acutely under urology is carried out with a high level of consultant input. The on-call consultant is free of routine duties and is able to concentrate their efforts on looking after patients who have been admitted acutely, running a rapid access (Hot) clinic, undertaking acute operating and training junior staff.

The Getting it Right First time (GIRFT) national report on urology has recommended the establishment of urology area networks to optimise quality and efficiency. Towards this aim, the urology department at Site A has for the last 2 years successfully supported the on-call service at Site B and provides a tertiary referral service for specialist work. Efforts are ongoing to increase the level of collaboration between the two departments with the ultimate aim of creating a urology area network with clinicians based primarily at Site A offering urological care and services to a combined population approaching one million patients. Urological services are provided within the context of a multi-disciplinary team. There is excellent medical support from colleagues in anaesthetics, colo-rectal surgery, critical care, oncology, palliative care, pathology, radiology and rehabilitation medicine. Specialist nursing support includes uro-oncology nursing, stoma nurses and urology nurse specialists who are based in the investigation facilities on each of the three main hospital sites. The specialist nurses contribute hugely to the ability of the department to offer expert care as near to the patient’s home as possible.
