I am an experienced urologist with sub-specialty interests in benign prostate surgery, urinary stone disease treatment (kidney / ureteric / bladder stone), bladder cancer and prostate cancer diagnostics. I was Clinical Lead during my first year as a consultant.
Other treatments I offer include, bladder tumours including TURBT, en bloc resection, extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), HoLEP, Mitomycin bladder instillation and local anaesthetic bladder tumour laser ablation (TULA), PCNL, rezum, scrotal surgery, ureteroscopy and UroLift and TURP.
I developed the stone multidisciplinary team (MDT) in Wigan, Bolton and Salford. I am a Key Opinion Leader in Endourology for Richard Wolf, Teleflex and Coloplast. I have been an invited speaker on HoLEP, and chaired a BAUS (British Association of Urological Surgeons) session on BPH/LUTS, and regularly review submissions to the BAUS Annual General Meeting.
I am an active researcher, with over 25 publications on a number of topics including prostate cancer, kidney stone disease and education. I have been Chief and Principal Investigator in a number of key international trials. I received my research doctorate (Doctor of Medicine, MD) from the University of Manchester after an intensive study of kidney cancer chemotherapy resistance mechanisms at the Christie Hospital.
I have served eight years as an associate member of the European Association of Urologists Guidelines Panel for Prostate Cancer. These guidelines are the most sited urology guidance worldwide. I also regularly review articles for BJUI (British Journal of Urology International). I have also contributed to the Getting it Right First Time (GIRFT) urology guidance for Bladder Cancer and Outpatient Transformation.
I am Deputy Clinical Director for Innovation at Liverpool University Hospitals and have been involved in several UK and regional first procedures including novel stapler circumcision, magnetic stents and thullium fibre laser enucletion of the prostate. I have set up the Greater Manchester NHS Holmium Laser Enucleation of prostate (HoLEP) service in 2017, and am proud to have set up the first North West Private HoLEP service in Spire Manchester in 2024.
I am the Stone and Endourology Lead and Research Lead for Urology at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
I was previously the Clinical Director for Urology at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
