I qualified from Charing Cross & Westminster Medical School in 1997, and subsequently completed Basic Surgical Training on the Oxford Rotation. I then undertook laboratory based clinical research on prostate cancer, at University College London prior to Higher Surgical Training in Urology (London).

I am delighted to see all general Urology cases, including urgent referrals (Haematuria, raised PSA, prostate symptoms and Kidney Stones) as well as routine urology diagnostic cases. In addition I have a special interest in stone surgery and laser prostatectomy), as well as Upper Tract Laparoscopy and men's health.

Academically, I have edited 5 teaching textbooks, published over 70 peer-reviewed Medline papers and presented at numerous national/international meetings. I have also organised several practical skill courses for fellow trainees, as well as career advice courses for medical students and junior doctors at the Royal Society of Medicine London.

I am married to a hard working and supportive wife, have two lovely children and passionately support Liverpool Football Club. I have also completed the London Marathon, raising money for a children's charity.

It is a pleasure to start here and, in conjunction with all my colleagues I hope to provide a quality 21st Century Urology service for North Wales and the Borders.
