The annual report for the Orchid cancer campaign for whom I am a spokesperson and to which I contributed featured in the ITN news and Huffington post. I appealled for urgent research to develop tests to allow the dangerous prostate cancers to be distinguished from the less dangerous ones at diagnosis.

In 2014 I led a research project from Cambridge University where I analysed the accuracy of the diagnostic methods for prostate cancer which were the standard at the time. This showed that the methods were inaccurate. The results were reported on national and international TV as well as the lay and medical press. Thankfully, since I reported this work, the methods by which prostate cancer can be diagnosed have improved.


I offer state of the art prostate diagnosis as standard.

UCLH Robotic surgery team complete 500 radical prostatectomies in a year

In November 2017, Greg and fellow consultants from the robotic urology team at UCLH achieved a record of 500 robotic radical prostatectomies in one UK centre in one year. This is the first time this has been done. Surgical outcomes are linked closely with the number of times a surgeon performs a particular operation. The team at UCLH are pioneering new techniques such as NeuroSAFE for use in the NHS. Our caseload continues to grow and in 2022 the UCLH team performed over 800 robotic radical prostatectomies.

The story was featured on the front page of  the Evening standard and in the Sun and Mail newspapers
