Background Information 
Professional profile:
I am the lead clinician for cancer services at the United Bristol Health Care Trust. My main interest is the early diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. This includes both the use of advanced surgical techniques and minimally invasive intervention. I am also experienced in microsurgical reversal of vasectomy, with an overall success rate of over 90%, and sling surgery for urinary incontinence.

My training has been in London, Bristol and Cambridge. Other major interests include incontinence, bladder cancer (radical surgery and reconstruction) and male sexual health.
Personal profile:
Born in 1959, I am married with four children. Much of my spare time is spent visiting units in the developing world teaching and training junior doctors and healthcare professionals.
