Urodynamics — pressures and flows — NHS waiting times (DM01)
Tests that measure bladder pressure and urine flow.
How long are NHS Urodynamics diagnostic waits?
Urodynamics — pressures and flows is one of the 15 key diagnostic tests in NHS England's DM01 collection. Tests that measure bladder pressure and urine flow. The cause of incontinence and bladder-emptying problems, guiding medical or surgical treatment. The operational standard is that fewer than 1% of patients should wait 6 weeks or more for a DM01 test — not met across diagnostics since November 2013. The current Urodynamics figure publishes here once it has been extracted from the DM01 file and verified.
What it diagnoses
The cause of incontinence and bladder-emptying problems, guiding medical or surgical treatment.
Why the wait matters
A small DM01 line; delays postpone the diagnosis that decides continence surgery versus conservative management.
Urodynamics DM01 waiting figure
Figure loads from the DM01 file
The per-test Urodynamics waiting figure (number and share waiting 6+ weeks) publishes here as soon as it has been extracted from the NHS England DM01 monthly file and checked against the source. Gera does not display a diagnostic number it has not verified — so no figure is shown until then.

Waiting a long time for Urodynamics?
NHS Urodynamics waits can run well beyond the 6-week standard. Many people use a private online consultation to discuss symptoms, understand whether an investigation is appropriate, or get a referral while they wait. GeraClinic connects you with a UK-registered doctor by video — a private service, not part of or affiliated with the NHS. For a medical emergency always call 999 or go to A&E.
