Research interests

I have collected extensive outcome data as the lead centre in the UK for 50 Watt laser prostate surgery. To date I have completed over 350 such cases, the highest in the UK, (NHS & private sector) and I provide mentorship to surgeons in the UK for this technique. I run a twice yearly Laser Prostate Surgery Masterclass demonstrating and teaching the technique to UK & Irish Consultants and our unit is the reference centre in 50 Watt laser prostate surgery.

In the past investigated the spatial anatomy of penile nerves responsible for erections in relation to their better preservation during complex prostate cancer surgery. At present collect outcome data across all our practice to highlight the cost-effective delivery of a high quality service in the NHS.

Personal interests

Enjoy relaxing with my family and spending time together, often on long walks, given my busy NHS and private practice schedule.

Keen desire one day to complete a private pilots licence (PPL), having had lessons, and to uphold a strong family tradition whereupon both my father and uncle held this many years back.
