I am a Consultant Urologist with a specialist experience in robotic surgery and surgical technology.
My main interest is in minimally invasive surgery, image-guided surgery in Urology and digitisation of surgery and surgical education.
My aim is to provide world-class cancer care for patients with pelvic urological cancers, and those needing robotic pelvic urological reconstructive surgery, and to establish a multispecialty robotic training environment for continuous professional development. In addition to completing Urology training with a specialist focus in Uro-oncology and Robotic surgery, I have completed an MSC (Surgical technology) with distinction from Imperial College London, successfully defending my thesis on Augmented reality image guidance for robotic prostatectomy.
I have successfully completed a postgraduate Diploma in clinical education with a view to developing a novel interactive environment incorporating established educational theories for the development of surgical skills.
I am currently a consultant Urologist working in the NHS at UCLH focussing on bladder and prostate cancer as well as reconstructive surgery with a special interest in optimising outcomes post-treatment. I completed the EAU/ERUS curriculum and have performed more than 1000 independent robotic procedures in pelvic cancer.
I am currently a Proctor with Intuitive Surgical for training in Robotic Cystectomy and Intracorporeal Reconstruction, Robotic Prostatectomy (incl. Retzius-sparing technique), Robotic Salvage Prostatectomy and Robotic Reconstructive Surgery for Benign Procedures.
Why did you choose your specialty/job role?
I chose to specialise in Urology because of the variety of disease presentations and varied opportunities to help patients. I was also fascinated by the technology used for various treatments and procedures, and the multidisciplinary approach to treatments. I chose to specialise in cancer due to fact that urological cancers are among the most common among men and women in the world.
What do you most enjoy about working for Teladoc Health?
I enjoy the geographical reach of Teladoc Health and observing the various ways patients are treated across the globe. It’s a true honour to be able to provide a second opinion on a subject that I treat every day. The doctors I work with have been very approachable and respectful in their communication with me.
How do you think patients can benefit from the SMO service?
I think this is an excellent way to get second opinions from experts around the world. Most of the time it is just to be reassured that they are getting the write treatment. Other times, new ideas/tests/management options may become available that are not routinely available locally.
What is the professional achievement you’re most proud of?
Education is a passion of mine and becoming the program director for fellowship training for Urology at my institute is a personal achievement that gives me a lot of joy.
Are you involved in any other organisations or charity work?
I work extensively across various trusts in the NHS. I work with UCLH charity that supports research and educational activities at UCLH, as well as St Peters charity which promotes research in Urology, The Urology foundation which promotes Urology information and research, Macmillan Cancer Support and The British Red cross
