Professional background
I have worked at 半岛体育 Park since 2008. I have a broad urology interest treating a range of conditions but my particular focus is in prostate problems and urinary stone issues. I am the Lead the Prostate cancer service at 半岛体育, seeing patients in clinic and performing fusion prostate biopsies. We were the first unit in the country to get the Koelis Trinity system, which is a very accurate way to biopsy the prostate, looking for possible cancers. I have done 3000-400 of these to date. I am the Lead for Stone issues in the Trust. I set up and manage the lithotripsy service, I take on complex stone cases for the trust and for neighbouring hospitals. We regularly review our results to ensure we run an effective and efficient service.
