As a Consultant Urological Surgeon my main focus now is on the Diagnosis, Surgical treatment and post-operative management of Cancers of the Prostate, Kidney and Bladder. I have also developed a strong reputation in robot assisted Prostate surgery.
Born in London into a medical family, I trained at Nottingham University Medical School and qualified in 1993. I undertook basic surgical training in London and after gaining a wide experience in general surgery was awarded the FRCS(Eng) qualification in 1998.
I then began my Urological training in the UK before moving to start a fellowship in Prostate Cancer at the Juravinski Cancer Centre in Ontario, Canada. Here I trained in Urological Cancer Surgery and established a Prostate Cancer research project. This project focussed on investigating the characteristics of prostate cancer cells that allow them to metastasise or spread into the bones. I was awarded a doctorate for this work.
On returning to the UK, I completed my training in the Trent region before being appointed as a Consultant Urological Surgeon at Kings Mill and Royal Derby Hospitals. In 2014 my main NHS appointment moved from Kings Mill Hospital to the Royal Derby Hospital.
In addition to my NHS commitments I see private patients at Derby Private Health (within the Royal Derby Hospital), Nuffield Health, Derby Hospital and the The Woodthorpe and Park Hospitals in Nottingham.
I am always happy to offer my experience and expertise to GP’s and their patients. In many cases this will mean simple reassurance. However, if further investigation is required, I will advise on the best course of action for the patient concerned.
Patients can be certain of a sympathetic and utterly professional consultation.
