Nurse-led clinics for assessing men with lower urinary tract symptoms.
The growing ageing population is leading to an increase in the number of men presenting with lower urinary tract symptoms. This paper argues in favour of more nurse-led clinics offering a holistic approach to assessing this condition that take account of local needs. New guidelines from the British Association of Urology Nurses are also discussed.
