Hospital opens new urology unit

The Chestnut Urology Investigation Unit at University Hospitals Plymouth (UHP) opened its doors to patients this week.

The services offered in Urology have increased over time and the new location provides sufficient space to significantly increase the level of activity and number of patients who can be treated.

The Urology department diagnoses and treats urological disease, including bladder, kidney, testicular and penile cancer. The new unit is Gold Standard, with capacity for patients to have a scan, biopsy and see a consultant for diagnosis on the same day. There are only two other units in the country with these capabilities.

"Not only will the new unit provide outstanding care for patients," said Unit Manager, Tracey Whittingham, "it will also provide an amazing environment for the staff, with wellness in mind, we have created a beautiful workplace that will help both staff and patients."
