Australian males have an estimated one in six chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer by the age of 85 years of age.
If you think about all the men in your life, this is an alarming figure.
The good news is that Dr Nick and his team in urology at #Redcliffe Hospital are paving the way for minimally invasive prostate procedures and treatments for prostate issues, including benign prostate enlargements.
"Green light laser treatment is a new option - it’s a minimally invasive procedure that evaporates the enlarged prostate tissue,” he said. 🟢
“The procedure is associated with fewer side effects and quicker recovery than traditional surgery.”
If you’d like to join Dr Nick in working across prostate health, as well as other urological issues, apply now to join the team as a senior medical officer: bit.ly/3OdNI4Y

He is a very good and caring doctor he looks after his patients. I was so happy to have him for me .
Marvel‘s of modern medicine. Less longer stays in hospital. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How to get on any of Redcliffe's Urulogy waiting lists, mystery for me....maybe not being able to pee at all is not enough to get placed on a list. Several weeks now with Catherter in and still no doctor seen me at RCH. I am solely relying on my GP. Asked for medication and asked for Ultrasound so at least something is being. I am very disappointed with RCH, been in void clinic and failed which stands to reason as nothing is done. Next clinic 3 weeks from now at least via GP ,3 weeks of meds but I have been told 6 weeks before seeing any results. Thinking of finding private Urologist and pay for any treatments.
