He was appointed a consultant urological surgeon at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in 2004, and has admitting rights at the Cambridge Nuffield Hospital. In addition to general urology, his specialist interest include management of renal stone disease, and robotic radical prostatectomy for treatment of prostate cancer. He is one of the highest volume robotic radical prostatectomy surgeons in the UK (performed over 2000 cases) with very high success rates in terms of cancer treatment, urinary continence recovery and erectile function recovery post radical prostatectomy. He has been performing Robotic surgery since 2006. He is the lead Robotic surgeon in Cambridge. He has trained several surgeons in robotic prostatectomy over the years, who practice in United Kingdom, Australia, Singapore. His research interests are in prostate cancer maangement and has published well on this topic.
