Kettering General Hospital has opened a £1.8m new ‘one stop shop’ Urology Centre today (Monday, November 20) to speed-up care and reduce worrying waits for patients.

The aim is to reduce the number of hospital visits that many urology patients experience and enable staff to diagnose potentially life-threatening conditions like cancer as soon as possible.

It will do this by putting specialist staff and testing facilities all under one-roof enabling patients to have a variety of key tests – and see a hospital consultant - all on the same day.

A man who leads a pioneering team of staff that looks after some of the most vulnerable patients in hospital has been to Buckingham Palace for a celebration hosted by King Charles III.
