​New urology facility puts Luton and Dunstable hospital on top

A NEW urology department will see a hospital lead the way in the treatments following a £900,000 investment.

Luton and Dunstable Hospital’s innovative purpose-built one stop clinic, one of only a handful in the country, means patients can see a clinician and have diagnostic tests all at the same appointment, avoiding the need for return visits to the hospital.

Urology consultant Mr Asad Saleemi, said: “Over the last year, we have transformed care for our urology patients.

“Our new one-stop clinic enables us to provide a service unrivalled in its access and speed of diagnostic tests, reducing unnecessary follow-up attendances to hospital.”

The hospital is currently in the process of gaining approval for a number of redevelopments as part of a £150m revamp, which is due to be completed by 2019.

The new build will see the hospital totally transformed and become one of the major emergency centres in the country, along with cutting edge women’s and children’s facilities.
