I am a consultant urological surgeon based in Norwich with a particular interest in renal surgery and the management of testicular cancer

My NHS practice is split between the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and the James Paget University Hospital, and my outpatient private practice is based at The Spire Hospital Norwich.

I am the lead for urology services at the James Paget University Hospital and hold an honorary contract with the Royal Marsden Hospital in London enabling my patients to have direct access to one of the UKs leading cancer centres.

I am a high-volume kidney surgeon, performing more than a hundred operations each year for cancer and benign kidney conditions in the NHS.

General urology forms a large part of my clinical practice. I diagnose and treat a broad range of urological conditions including prostate cancer, lower urinary tract symptoms in men, blood in urine, circumcision, scrotal swelling and urinary tract infections. See here for the complete list of conditions I treat and the treatments I offer.

Medicine is embedded into my family history. My great-great grandfather, Sir Patrick Manson, founded the London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. His early scientific discoveries directly invoked the mosquito-malaria theory, which was finally proved by Sir Ronald Ross in 1898.

I am now the fifth generation of medic in my family, taking over the mantel from my father who retired in 2012 after 35 years as a GP in south Norfolk.

I live just outside Norwich with my wife and three young children.
