Advances have been made in every aspect of urology that strengthen the scientific underpinning of current urologic practices and that hopefully will encourage further scientific investigation into the source, mechanisms, and cure of urologic diseases. This article reviews some of the advances that have been detailed in the recent urologic literature.
Requests for hepatitis C antibodies (HCV Ab) made by the Oxford Department of Genito-urinary (GU) Medicine were audited against national guidelines to determine how the service performed and to develop locally applicable standards. This resulted in more effective screening and cost savings.
Most sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are associated with increased risk of HIV transmission. The draft Scottish Sexual Health Strategy (2003) proposed that 'HIV testing [should be] offered to all GUM clinic attendees not known to be HIV infected who present with a new STI. ... Reasons for non-uptake should be recorded.' We performed a national audit comparing practice in Scottish genitourinary (GU) medicine services against these standards. The results show that practice is highly variable but overall in 2004 Scottish GU medicine clinics were failing to meet the strategy standard.
