Over 750,000 urology hospital care episodes per year

Since 1995 The Urology Foundation has been dedicated to reducing the suffering caused by urology diseases so that more people can live life to the full. In collaboration with doctors, nurses and researchers we have made great advances in the care and treatment of the nation’s urology health.

From implementing and increasing the use of robotic surgery for prostate, kidney and bladder to discovering a new urine test for the early detection of bladder cancer, we have been getting tougher on urology disease. But there is still so much to be done.

Mark was diagnosed with bladder cancer at just 39

“It felt like my life was on hold, that everything had just come to a standstill. I felt like I couldn’t see light at the end of the tunnel and my emotions became very frail and very fragile. I’d feel sick whenever I saw the hospital’s number was ringing on my phone, it was horrible.”

“A year and a bit after the operation and I have a normal life, which was all I wanted when I was at my worst with bladder cancer.”

Urology disease can devastate a life. Thanks to research and a surgeon trained by The Urology Foundation, Mark’s cancer was successfully removed.
