Urology Stoma and Continence

Contact: (0191) 233 6161 Extension 48308 - Sisters Marion Haskin, Jill Ferguson & Liz Davis

Our Urology stoma and Continence service is run by a team of specialist nurses who provide information, education and counselling for patients with a range of urological disorders. Support is also provided for relatives and carers.

We see patients who need complex urological surgery for both malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous) conditions, including urinary diversion surgery and bladder reconstruction.  

We also provide a service for patients with continence problems following a urological procedure, or who have bladder dysfunction requiring self -catheterisation or another form of management.

We absolutely recognise that urological conditions can be sensitive and very distressing. Our staff are committed to ensuring every patient is treated with the utmost dignity and sensitivity, as well as providing you with the highest quality of care in a safe and comfortable environment.
