About Mr Jonathan McFarlane
Jon McFarlane is a Consultant Urological Surgeon working in Bath, with a specialist interest in prostate cancer and other prostate diseases. He aims to offer a rapid, individualised, personal service to all his patients to try and diagnose and resolve problems quickly with as little stress as possible. He is a member of the Bath Urology Group - working as a team allows immediate cross referral if a different Urology sub-specialty expertise is required, along with guaranteed Consultant cover for any urgent clinical issues that arise during periods of absence.
Since his consultant appointment in 2002, Jon has worked to develop and improve urological services in Bath, and introduced many new services and techniques, including both laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, prostate brachytherapy, HIFU and transperineal template biopsy. He has held a number of senior NHS posts, including 4 years as Head of the Surgical Division, and is currently the RUH Associate Medical Director for Cancer Services. He was a National Clinical Advisor to NHS Improvement for prostate cancer services from 2010-14, and a member of the Prostate Cancer Advisory Group from 2011-2018.
He trained in preclinical medicine at Oxford University (1985-88), before moving to Cambridge University for clinical training at Addenbrookes Hospital (1988-91). His early surgical training was undertaken in Cambridge and London, where he received the Master of Surgery higher degree after a period of clinical research. He then moved to Oxford for specialist training in Urology, and spent a year in Melbourne on a Urology Fellowship with an interest in prostate cancer. On return to the UK, he took the final specialist FRCS(Urol) examination in 2002, where he was awarded the Keith Yeates gold medal as the best candidate that year. The award came with a travelling fellowship bursary which he used to further train in prostate cancer surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York prior to taking up his Consultant appointment.

AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mr Jonathan McFarlane shows professional, clear, and reassuring care. He explains health options simply. This gives patients confidence and puts them at ease. He offers expert help with many treatments, like prostate MRI scans and general urology.
Mr McFarlane was very good, he listened and discussed everything that was going on throughout. Very reassuring and very relaxed. I didn’t feel any pressure to rush.
Everything went very smoothly and very professionally. Waiting for the results was stressful, but the results were then presented clearly and with empathy. Couldn’t really be better.
My star ratings really sum things up. Mr MacFarlane is professional and friendly. He explained matters clearly and outlined the chances of success which helped me make my decision. And, so far, it is clear that the procedure he performed has gone well.
His professional manner and clarity of explanation were both excellent. After a routine health check, I was referred to a urologist: Mr McFarlane arranged an MRI scan of my prostate and then explained the result to me, which happily was satisfactory. He encouraged me to continue to have annual PSA tests, which I have been having since age 50.
I was very pleased with the first appointment and the subsequent procedure at the Bath Clinic. Mr McFarlane was very friendly and he clearly explained everything to me in a way that was relaxed and allowed me to ask questions, all of which were clearly answered. This helped me be at ease and be confident in his suggested next steps. The test and procedure went well and I was very relieved that the outcome was a positive one. It makes a huge difference to be dealt with in such a sensitive, kind and professional manner for this kind of mens treatment. I would certainly recommend Mr McFarlane to anyone I know who is looking for a urologist. A huge 'Thank You' Charlie T.
Very quick consultation with no problems after my Hydrocele operation. John McFarlane is a very professional and caring consultant who I would unhesitatingly recommend to anyone needing an op!
A first class experience from start to finish. Mr McFarlane's qualifications speak for themselves, and his friendly and professional manner are both reassuring and authoritative. I can't praise him highly enough.
My experience of Mr McFarland this past year, which has included an initial prostatic review, a biopsy and the follow up appointments has been very positive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.
