A state-of-the-art treatment centre for people with kidney problems is opening at Nottingham City Hospital on Monday.
The £8.1m centre has operating theatres, clinics, counselling rooms and a suite for treating kidney stones with shock waves.
The old facilities were "cramped, out-dated and inappropriate" according to hospital staff.
The new Nottingham Urology Centre stands between the hospital's maternity unit and the outpatients department.
Duncan Harriss, clinical director for urology services, said: "The old building was really quite poor, but this new centre is absolutely amazing.
