Urology is the study and treatment of disorders of the urinary tracts in men and women, covering sub-specialities including bladder, prostate, kidney, stones, functional and general urology conditions.
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 benign and cancer conditions. We are also a tertiary centre for complex female urological conditions or male/female reconstructive surgery.
Advice and refer
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust is implementing advice and refer as the only referral process for the service, using the advice and guidance functionality on the NHS e-Referral Service (e-RS). This will not change for cancer and two week wait (2WW) referrals.
For further information for patients, please see our advice and refer page.
