Urology Centre team

Posted on at by David Tomney

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.
