Privacy-conscious forms
The online tools on this website are intentionally designed without patient identifiers. Only symptom and diary data are stored, and these stay on the patient’s local device unless they choose to print or download a report.
Pre-assessment
This form is designed for clinic preparation and does not request names, date of birth, address, NHS number or other direct identifiers. Patients can save their progress on their own device, return later, and download a printable summary to bring to clinic.
What this page includes
Basic measurements include age, height and weight, with automatic BMI calculation. Symptom questionnaires are then displayed according to sex:
Male: IPSS, ICIQ Male LUTS and ICIQ QoL.
Female: ICIQ-F LUTS and ICIQ QoL.
Bladder diary
Patients should complete this diary for three days. They may either print a blank diary and complete it manually, or enter data directly on the web form using their phone. Data are stored only on the current device.

How to use the diary
Record each drink and each void over the day. Mark urgency from 0 to 3, note any leakage, and whether a pad change was needed. Use the same device each day so progress remains available locally.
This diary intentionally avoids patient identifiers. Patients may print or save the final summary and bring it to clinic.
