Consultant Urologist with a specialist experience in robotic surgery and surgical technology.

My main interest is in minimally invasive surgery, image-guided surgery in Urology and digitisation of surgery and surgical education. My aim is to provide world-class cancer care for patients with pelvic urological cancers, and those needing robotic pelvic urological reconstructive surgery, and to establish a multispecialty robotic training environment for continuous professional development.

In addition to completing Urology training with a specialist focus in Uro-oncology and Robotic surgery, I have completed an MSC (Surgical technology) with distinction from Imperial College London, successfully defending my thesis on Augmented reality image guidance for robotic prostatectomy. I have successfully completed a postgraduate Diploma in clinical education with a view to developing a novel interactive environment incorporating established educational theories for the development of surgical skills.

I am currently a consultant Urologist working in the NHS at UCLH focussing on bladder and prostate cancer as well as reconstructive surgery with a special interest in optimising outcomes post-treatment. I completed the EAU/ERUS curriculum and have performed more than 1000 independent robotic procedures in pelvic cancer. I am currently a Proctor with Intuitive Surgical for training in Robotic Cystectomy and Intracorporeal Reconstruction, Robotic Prostatectomy (incl. Retzius-sparing technique), Robotic Salvage Prostatectomy and Robotic Reconstructive Surgery for Benign Procedures.

I have also worked with healthcare technology companies to design educational interventions, assess technology and provide expert opinion. I have previously worked closely with companies such as Intuitive Surgical, CMR, Medtronic (Digital surgery), Assut etc. I am open to working with heathtech companies looking to work in the field of robotic surgery, surgical technology, education, credentialing, machine learning and automated assessment.
