Bladder Care Centre at UBC Hospital

The Bladder Care Centre combines care, health professional education, and research into providing integrated bladder health services, caring for approximately 10,000 clients annually. 

Approximately 5.3 million Canadians, including nearly 60,000 people in the Lower Mainland, suffer from urinary incontinence and bladder issues, according to Canadian Continence Foundation (2015). The number of patients who suffer from bladder problems are expected to double in the next 10 to 15 years as the population ages and grows in Greater Vancouver. 

If you are having incontinence issues or bladder problems, please contact your family doctor or walk-in-clinic physician in order to be referred to the Bladder Care Centre. 

A referral is required for the Bladder Care Centre. 

1. A completed referral form may then be faxed to our clerks. Please have your family doctor, specialist or walk-in-clinic physician complete our referral form and fax it to us at 604-822-6984. The form must be filled out by a doctor. Referrals must include complete referral form, a letter outlining medical / psychiatric history, disabilities, mobility aids, weight, correct pronouns used by the patient, current medications and dosage.
2. One of the Bladder Care Centre Urologists will review your referral to determine if the Bladder Care Centre is right for you. Waittimes may vary.
3. Our centre office will call you to book for the recommended tests and/or treatment(s) with the Bladder Care Centre urologists. Please ensure you read about the services and how to prepare and what to expect before your appointment.
