About me
Professor Richard Hindley is a leading Consultant Urological Surgeon in Hampshire, renowned across the UK for his expertise in minimally invasive treatments for prostate and kidney conditions. As a Visiting Professor at the University of Winchester, he is widely recognised for advancing modern diagnostic pathways and surgical innovation in men's health.
Graduating from the University of Dundee, Professor Hindley completed specialist urology training in the South Thames region, including two years at King's College Hospital. In 2003, he undertook an internationally recognised laparoscopic urology fellowship in Brisbane, strengthening his expertise in keyhole and minimally invasive techniques. He was awarded his MSc in Urology for research into bladder dysfunction, further cementing his early academic foundation.
Professor Hindley is one of the UK's foremost experts in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). He introduced the region's first Greenlight laser surgery service in 2005 and later became the UK's leading surgeon for Rezum water vapour therapy, performing hundreds of procedures and contributing to the pathway for NICE approval. He continues to lead nationally on Rezum outcomes and also offers Aquablation, iTIND, and other cutting edge BPH treatments that support rapid recovery and excellent symptom relief.
His expertise extends to prostate cancer diagnosis, where he has played a significant role in transforming UK practice. As a key contributor to the landmark PROMIS and PRECISION clinical trials, Professor Hindley helped establish the use of mpMRI as a first line diagnostic tool. He remains at the forefront of prostate cancer care, offering advanced diagnostics including targeted fusion biopsies and focal therapy—HIFU and cryotherapy—designed to treat cancer while preserving urinary and sexual function.
Nationally, he serves as a Specialist Adviser to NICE's Interventional Procedures Programme and is Chair of the GIRFT Academy for Bladder Outlet Obstruction, leading improvements in BPH care and reducing variation in patient outcomes across the NHS.
A passionate educator, Professor Hindley has introduced minimally invasive techniques—including laparoscopy, HIFU, Greenlight laser and Rezum—to centres throughout the UK.
He holds an Honorary Senior Lectureship at the University of Southampton and collaborates with academic centres including UCL, Imperial College London, and the University of Oxford. His research includes more than 100 prostate related publications, contributing to national and international evidence based practice.
Professor Hindley provides expert private urology consultations in Hampshire and London, specialising in:
• BPH diagnosis and minimally invasive BPH treatments
• Prostate cancer diagnostics, mpMRI, fusion biopsy & focal therapy
• Laparoscopic and robotic kidney surgery
• Men's health and urinary tract conditions

Outside his clinical practice, he enjoys family life, photography, cycling, and tennis.
