Contact: (0191) 233 6161 ext 31730 – Anne Marie Wilkinson, Urology Community Nurse Specialist.

Patients with bladder cancer and other urological disorders often require frequent visits to hospital for treatments, tests and procedures.

The urology community nursing service is a unique service in the north east, giving you the choice of receiving specialist care and treatment in the comfort and privacy of your own home, rather than in hospital. This is usually less stressful and more convenient and the service is highly valued by patients.

The service is run by the urology community nurse specialist, Anne Marie Wilkinson, with support from the urology stoma nurse specialists, who work closely with healthcare colleagues in both the hospital and community to provide you with specialist advice and support.

Our aim is to continue to expand this service to meet the individual needs of all our patients, helping you live your life as normally as possible.
