Our Urology Service diagnoses and treats conditions that affect your urinary system, including your kidneys, bladder, ureters, prostate and male reproductive organs.
We offer one‑stop clinics to speed up diagnosis and nurse‑led clinics so you can see the most appropriate person for your needs.
Who we care for
We support people with a wide range of urological symptoms and conditions, including difficulty passing urine, blood in the urine, prostate problems, bladder issues, erectile dysfunction and urological cancers.
You will usually see one of our consultants first and may also meet our specialist nurses for ongoing support.
Your appointments will take place at Bolton One or Royal Bolton Hospital.
How to access the service
You need a referral from your GP or a hospital consultant.
Once referred, you will receive an outpatient appointment and, in some cases, we may arrange tests before you attend so we can reach a diagnosis more quickly.
What to expect at your appointment
At your appointment, we will:
- Talk with you about your symptoms and medical history
- Review any medicines you take
- Carry out a physical examination if needed
We may recommend treatment such as medication or hormone therapy, or arrange tests including:
- MRI or CT scans
- Biopsies
- Bone scans
- Flexible cystoscopy
- Bladder function tests
When your results are ready, we'll invite you back to discuss them and agree a treatment plan that suits your needs. We may also refer you to other specialist teams, such as oncology, if required.
Where we are
Our team works across:
- Bolton One – Outpatient clinics
- Royal Bolton Hospital – Outpatient clinics, day‑case procedures and inpatient surgery
Your appointment letter will tell you which location to attend.
