Urology is mainly based at St James’s University Hospital, but some services are also offered at other sites. Most outpatient appointments are held in the Paul Sykes Centre, but can also be in the Bexley Wing. Flexible Cystoscopies, Lithotripsy and Day Surgery are in the David Beevers Unit, next door to the Paul Sykes Centre. Radiotherapy and other Oncology treatments are undertaken in Bexley Wing. Main surgery is done in Geoffrey Giles Theatre Suite and the urology ward is J42 in Lincoln Wing.
The Paul Sykes Centre was opened in June 2003. It is a purpose built centre which is dedicated to urology services. The department consists of 12 consultation rooms, ultrasound suite, treatment room and urodynamics unit. Planned clinics are run here on a daily basis, and there is also an acute clinic several times per week. Different types of issues treated here include: prostate cancer, renal cancer, bladder cancer, penile cancer, testicular cancer, benign prostate problems, continence, kidney stones and andrology problems. It is open Monday-Friday (and on rare occasions Saturdays), the front doors open at 08:30 and close after the last patient leaves, usually 17:00.
