About me

I am Professor of Urology at University College London. I specialise in precision diagnostics and treatment of prostate cancer tailored to individual cancer characteristics and minimising side effects. I lead the urology cancer team at University College London Hospitals NHS Trust. I have performed the most radical prostatectomies at the highest volume robotic pelvic surgery centre in the UK for each of the past 7 years and my caseload is amongst the highest in the UK. I believe that radical prostatectomy is the best way to cure prostate cancer and that the side effects from treatment can be minimised. I work hard to achieve this using the best new techniques. I lead an international study of the NeuroSAFE technique and pioneer new techniques to improve post operative urinary continence including complete urethral preservation.

I have a very low complication rate, since starting robotic prostatectomy as a consultant in 2015, over 1200 patients- 0% major (clavien 3 or above) complications.


I have a strong track record of leadership and research in prostate cancer. I lead several national trials designed to investigate ways of improving outcomes for men with prostate cancer. I completed the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons Fellowship in robotic surgery and was trained at Cambridge University where I worked for 5 years as a Lecturer. I have led the NIHR (research arm of the NHS) for urology research in the North Thames region for 6 years.

I employ the latest techniques to maximise the quality of life for patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. I pioneer a technique called NeuroSAFE which is designed to increase the possibility of safe nerve sparing, and therefore sexual potency, after robotic radical prostatectomy. I am leading an NHS funded study testing how effective this technique is.

I am happy to conduct telephone and video consults where preferable.

I am known for my work in scrutinising the way prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated and have featured in front page UK broadsheet headlines and national television news for this work.

I pride myself on maintaining strong relationships with the patients I treat and many are prepared to talk with people contemplating surgery under my care.


My work regularly features in the press.
