With Urology Awareness Month just around the corner, it is the perfect time to launch our bold new ‘State of the Nation’ survey. This aims to uncover the experiences of people before and directly after their urinary diversion surgery, and in the longer term.
Brian Fretwell, Chairman of the UA, said: “Our voices need to be heard. Facts and figures about urinary diversions are scarce, and patients’ needs are often eclipsed by more common ostomies like colostomies and ileostomies.
“Together, we can pinpoint the strengths and gaps in urinary diversion care. Insights from this survey will enable us to develop a new urinary diversion charter – a clear call to action for politicians and healthcare leaders to ensure better care for all going forward.”
To have your say, please complete the survey here; your responses will remain anonymous.
It should only take you about 10-15 minutes to complete; it’s important to get as in-depth picture as possible of people’s experiences so please spare the time if you can. We’ve an incentive too – participants will be entered into a random draw for a chance to win a £25 Amazon voucher! Thank you.
