Abstract

Multidisciplinary clinics are useful where there is patient choice, but patients are often seen sequentially, rather than synchronously in the same room. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines for bladder and prostate cancer [1], [2] do not currently recommend using synchronous joint clinics.

Having set up a joint uro-oncology clinic in 2010 to see early prostate cancer patients and muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients within a clinic appointment run simultaneously by a urologist, clinical oncologist and clinical nurse specialist (CNS), we administered a patient satisfaction survey over a 26 month period to January 2015.
