Ben trained in general urology in London and the southeast of England. Ben has also undertaken specialist training in prostate cancer and robotic surgery, including a Fellowship in urological oncology and robotic surgery at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, Australia.

Alongside his clinical practice Ben is currently lead clinician for urological cancer specialist multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) in North East and North Central London regions, a Prostate Cancer UK Clinical Champion, and an executive committee member of the British Association of Urological Surgeons section of oncology .

He is course faculty for the Urology MSc at Anglia Ruskin University and the Cambridge Emergency Urology Course; he is also the Male CTA lead for the Cambridge Clinical School.
