This page gives you information about bladder urgency and how to improve bladder function with retraining and other treatment methods. Bladder urgency is having the sudden urge to hurry to pass urine, often with the fear of not getting to the toilet in time. People with bladder urgency can find that they frequently have to pass urine in the daytime and sometimes at night. Bladder control can be lost and an embarrassing leak of urine might happen. Studies have shown that bladder urgency is a common problem but, with the right assessment, treatment can work very well.

A Fibro Scanner is a type of ultrasound that is used to assess liver fibrosis in a non-invasive way. The equipment can help to provide a prompt diagnosis, which is especially important as 90% of liver disease is reversible if detected early. This also enables the hepatology team to organise a treatment plan as soon as possible for patients. The Fibroscan procedure is quick and painless, and can also help in emergency situations by providing accurate readings of liver damage in less than 15 minutes.
