Urology Clinic in Newcastle
Our urology clinic is consultant-led, bringing together some of the most respected urology consultants in the region. We pair that expertise with the most innovative diagnostics and treatments available — so that, from your first appointment, you receive accurate answers, clear options and an experience built entirely around you.
Our Urology Clinic
Our Newcastle urology clinic is built on a simple idea: that specialist care works best when it is genuinely consultant-led. From the moment you arrive, you are seen and treated by an experienced urologist — not passed between people — with the time to understand your symptoms and explain what they mean.
We care for men, women and children across the full range of urological conditions, from recurrent urinary infections and an enlarged prostate to kidney stones, incontinence and prostate cancer concerns. What sets us apart is how we diagnose and treat them: rapid in-clinic UTI testing that gives answers during your appointment, genetic-led prostate cancer screening, and modern, function-preserving treatments that prioritise your quality of life.
As part of a group with a nationally recognised record in urology research — including pioneering work on the UTI vaccine — we bring that depth of expertise to Newcastle, with the agility to act on it quickly. The result is care that is precise, personal and refreshingly straightforward.
Urology conditions we care for
From common urinary symptoms to more complex concerns, each condition is assessed thoroughly and managed with a clear and proportionate plan.
Bladder Cancer
Bladder cancer is most treatable when found early. Its most common first sign is blood in the urine, which is often painless and prompts many people to seek help.
Bladder Conditions
Bladder problems range from common and benign conditions through to bladder cancer.
Cystitis
Assessment and treatment of cystitis, which is inflammation of the bladder and most often caused by a urinary tract infection.
Enlarged Prostate (BPH)
An enlarged prostate is a common and benign part of ageing for many men.
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is common, treatable and nothing to feel embarrassed about.
Female Urinary Incontinence
Leaking urine is one of the most common health problems women face and one of the least talked about.
Haematuria
Blood in the urine (Haematuria) should always be checked, even once, even if it is painless and even if it goes away.
Kidney Stones
Kidney stones can cause intense pain, but they are very treatable and often preventable.
Male Incontinence
Male incontinence usually follows one of three main patterns. Each has a different cause and a different treatment pathway.
Male Infertility
When a couple is struggling to conceive, the male partner is involved as often as the female. Male fertility is frequently overlooked, yet many causes can be identified and improved.
Overactive Bladder
Overactive bladder, often shortened to OAB, is a condition in which the bladder muscle contracts unexpectedly. This creates a sudden and compelling need to pass urine.
Pelviureteric Junction (PUJ) Obstruction
The pelviureteric junction, often shortened to PUJ, is the point where the kidney’s collecting funnel meets the ureter.
Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Your pelvic floor is a sling of muscles that supports the bladder and bowel and helps control when you go.
Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease causes a curve in the penis due to scar tissue forming within it.
Premature Ejaculation
A common male sexual health concern, and highly treatable.
Prostate Cancer
A prostate cancer concern is unsettling, but a clear pathway changes everything.
Prostatitis
Prostatitis means inflammation of the prostate. The prostate is a small gland that sits below the bladder and surrounds the urethra in men.
Recurrent UTI
Diagnosis-led care for recurrent urinary infections, in men and women.
Tight Foreskin (Phimosis)
A tight foreskin that will not pull back, known as phimosis, is common in adult men and very treatable. It can cause discomfort, hygiene difficulties, pain during sex or problems passing urine.
Urethral Stricture
A urethral stricture is a narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of the body. It can make passing urine increasingly difficult.
Urinary Tract Infections
Most UTIs are straightforward to treat once properly diagnosed. Prompt, accurate assessment ensures the right treatment is started first time.
