Urology

Welcome to the Urology Department 

We deal with problems of the bladder, kidney and prostate and have a new combined inpatient and outpatient department situated on B level at Rotherham Hospital.  

The Darshane Unit outpatient department should be accessed via the Moorgate entrance, whereas the Sitwell inpatient ward can be accessed via the main entrance of the hospital. We politely ask that people coming to outpatient appointments do not walk through Sitwell ward. This is to protect the health and privacy of our inpatients.
