I was awarded an MD thesis (2000) for research into prostate cancer vaccines and gene therapy. I then did further training in laparoscopic urological surgery at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane and subsequently learned additional techniques at The Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio.

I have been a Consultant Urological Surgeon at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust (Charing Cross Hospital) and West Middlesex University Hospital since 2002. I have a specialist interest in the diagnosis and treatment of testis, kidney and bladder cancer with specialist skills in laparoscopic surgery, cystectomy and bladder reconstruction. I have performed over 800 laparoscopic kidney operations. I perform post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection for the North West London and Mount Vernon Cancer Networks.

From 2008 to 2016 I was the Lead Clinician for Urology at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. I am currently Clinical Director for Specialist Surgery at Charing Cross Hospital.  I am Joint Chair of the Urology Pathway Group of the Royal Marsden Partners Cancer Vanguard.
