Ms June Tay

Ms Li June Tay, also known as June Tay, is a consultant urologist with specialist expertise in prostate cancer, uro-oncology and non-cancerous conditions affecting the kidneys, prostate and bladder. She has particular experience in robotic-assisted and minimally invasive urological surgery.

After receiving a full scholarship to study medicine at King's College London, Ms Tay qualified in 2009. She undertook her surgical and specialist urology training in the UK, gaining experience at leading centres including Guy's and St Thomas' and King's College Hospital. She subsequently advanced her expertise through a Royal College of Surgeons of England robotic fellowship at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge, followed by further subspecialist training at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia.

Her approach is grounded in current evidence, with treatment decisions shaped around each patient's individual needs. She works in partnership with patients and their families to agree on appropriate, personalised management plans.

Education and professional development are important aspects of Ms Tay's work. She teaches medical students at King's College London and contributes as faculty to courses run by the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS), including national training programmes in robotic surgery.
