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 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.

Jon is warm and welcoming and shows great empathy. He is very calm and helped me to feel relaxed right from the start. Nothing is too much trouble - even when I asked the same question a couple of times just to make sure that I understood correctly. First class experience.

I visited Bath Clinic after being "abandoned" by The RUH.... My original consultation with Mr McFarlane on 8th January was friendly and very professional, my prostate problem was immediately identified and a date of 7th February scheduled for my operation. Mr McFarlane clearly explained what was to happen also explaining the "pros & cons" of the procedure. After the operation and throughout the various follow up appointments Mr McFarlane took great care to explain things in a very friendly and caring manner.. I cannot thank him enough for all that he has done for me.... basically for giving my life back to me.. On a lighter note I was amazed that he originally recognised the logo on my jacket being that of my home town football club.. Thank you again

At the outset of my dealings with him, Mr McFarlane clearly explained all the options of my treatment and his approach left me with full confidence in accepting his advice. He and his team subsequently carried out my operation in a calm, professional, and caring manner and I was in good hands at all times. I have now made a full recovery and I can only express my wholehearted gratitude to him. Many thanks.

Mr McFarlane seems to me to be what any specialist in any field should be. He explained everything patiently in plain English without over simplifying or being patronising; he was clear about options and supportive. Those would be important in any dealings with a specialist professional. What I found particularly helpful was the way in which he adapted to me as an individual personality. This seems to me to matter especially in medicine and maybe law where the professional is dealing with matters at the heart of people's lives - it is the kind thing to do but is not always encountered. In my case that meant being direct and making clear the reasons for optimism at each stage without making light of anything. This is an anonymous review so I anonymously thank him.

Mr McFarlane's bedside manner was exemplary. His calm demeanour kept me at ease and I never felt rushed. He allowed to me fully explain my symptoms and was diligent in trying to establish a root cause.

Just really positive experience of a very good doctor. Great listening and responding. Seems to be at the top of his game and modest with it with a nice manner! What you want in Doctor!
