Consultant Urological Surgeon
B Med Sci, BMBS, FRCS (Urol), PhD
Specialises in
- Prostate cancer
- Enlarged prostate
- Prostatitis
- Prostate disease
- Robotic radical prostatectomy and da Vinci® robotic surgery
I am a Consultant Urological Surgeon with over 20 years’ specialist experience in prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment
and follow-up. My main area of expertise is robotic radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. I also have extensive
experience in prostate cancer diagnostics, active surveillance and helping men understand their treatment options so
they can make informed decisions about their care.
I specialise in prostate cancer care, including prostate cancer diagnosis, MRI-led assessment, prostate biopsy, active
surveillance, robotic radical prostatectomy and follow-up after treatment. I also see men with raised PSA levels,
abnormal prostate MRI scans, suspected prostate cancer, and benign urinary symptoms.
To date, I have performed more than 1,000 robotic radical prostatectomy procedures for prostate cancer. I have been
performing robotic prostate cancer surgery since 2007 and have extensive experience in managing complex prostate
cancer cases across both NHS and private practice.
Alongside my clinical practice, I hold regional and national roles focused on improving the quality, safety and
consistency of prostate cancer care. I am Secondary Care Cancer Lead for the West Yorkshire and Harrogate Cancer
Alliance, where I support cancer pathway improvement, clinical engagement and service innovation across NHS
providers.
I also contribute to national prostate cancer research through leadership and steering roles in major clinical trials,
including STAMPEDE, FOLLOW UP, FINESSE and POINTER-PC. In addition, I am a NICE Clinical Advisor/Topic
Advisor for the national prostate cancer guideline update, supporting evidence-based recommendations for prostate
cancer care across the NHS.
I also work with industry partners to develop, evaluate and introduce the latest innovations in prostate cancer care,
including artificial intelligence to support prostate MRI diagnosis and improve cancer pathways.
