There are two SHO level staff and one FY1 and FY2. The Department has recently undergone a refurbishment, to provide daycase urology and therapeutic services to include TRUS-Guided prostate biopsy lists, an endoscopy suite, dedicated lithotripsy sessions and specialist out-patient clinics. This facility also houses the one-stop urgent suspected cancer clinics and is used for nurse led flow clinics, catheter change clinics as well as continence and andrology clinics. Urodynamic facilities are available within the department. The Urology Department has inpatient beds based on the 3rd floor within the Surgical Department. Paediatric beds are also available on the main hospital site.

The Urology department uses one of the two dedicated purpose built modern integrated laparoscopic surgery theatres for its heavy laparoscopic workload. Currently, major laparoscopic Nephrectomies and prostatectomies are performed in this OR. The theatres also benefit from built in facilities and equipment for Holmium laser, stone and KTP laser prostate surgery and template guided saturation prostate biopsies.
