Due to the nature of being in partnership, we offer a fully comprehensive service which covers all areas of urology. If your patient decides to go privately, we welcome referrals to Bristol Urology Associates either to the partnership in general or to a named consultant.

Referrals to the BUA will be allocated at a convenient location for the patient with the next available consultant. For subspecialty conditions, the patient will be triaged to see the appropriate sub-specialist unless otherwise indicated. Through

this system, we endeavour to offer both a speedy general urology service and the best management for sub-speciality conditions.

GPs and other referrers can be confident that their patients will be in the capable hands of the BUA Consultants who are all leading experts in their separate fields. Given the strength of our combined expertise, we are willing to take on the most complex cases as well as being able to provide additional urological information and discuss any specific queries you may have.

Our consultants also offer a GP update service where we are happy to arrange a visit to your practice at your convenience to provide further information on any urological treatments or procedures for patients.  Please call 0117 980 4118 if you have any queries.
