Urology Clinical Nurse Specialist
Our multi-disciplinary team includes Urological Clinical Nurse Specialists, working collaboratively with consultants to ensure every patient receives a personalised, tailored treatment plan with one to one support before, during and after surgery. We hold regular Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings to ensure the best course of treatment for our patients, aiming to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes.
The role of an Urological Clinical Nurse Specialist is crucial in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to care. Rowena Woods provides patients with one to one specialist care, support and guidance at every step of their journey, including after they have returned home.
Working closely with patients, their families, consultants, nurses and physiotherapists, Rowena ensures urology and pelvic floor patients receive the best possible attention, aiming to achieve the best clinical outcomes.
Prostate Lead Nurse
Our Prostate Lead Nurse sees patients before robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy or HIFU and Nano Knife Electroporation procedures for a teaching
session. In this session the patient is informed what to expect before, during and after the procedure, and they are welcome to bring a partner for support. They will learn
about how the procedure is performed, the possible risks and side effects and how to deal with them, catheter care and they are also taught pelvic floor exercises.
Patients are seen on the ward before or after their procedure to ensure they know how to care for their catheter. They are then seen for the catheter removal in an outpatient setting. Patients also receive a call the day after catheter removal, and they are able to contact the Prostate Lead Nurse during work hours if they have any questions or problems.
