Urology
About
Ben practices all components of general urology but he has subspecialty interests in urinary tract stone management (kidney stones, ureteric stones and bladder stones). He is always keen to learn new techniques that can benefit his patients and has performed 'UK-first' procedures, on a couple of occasions. As part of Manchester Urology, he offers the full range of therapeutic options for stone disease privately including minimally invasive endourology techniques such as ureteroscopy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and shockwave lithotripsy as well as strategies to reduce the risk of further stone formation. He leads the complex stone service and stone multidisciplinary team (MDT) at MRI/MFT and sees patients from across NW England.
He graduated from the University of Manchester and undertook higher surgical training in Manchester and the North West. He has gained further specialist experience at the Cleveland Clinic in the USA and at stone centres in Amsterdam and Turin. An active researcher, with over 30 publications and book chapters to date, he received his research doctorate (MD) from the University of Manchester after an intensive study of prostate stem cell biology at the Christie Hospital.
He is also a qualified educator (PGCert Distinction) and has previously been Training Programme Director for Urology in Manchester with overall responsibility for the quality of trainee urologists' education in the region. Ben is an invited faculty member on numerous UK instructional courses and has lectured internationally on the management of stone disease. He has been deemed a global key opinion leader for two large companies providing endourological equipment.
Ben recognises the importance of audit and submits his data to the various kidney stone-related BAUS audits (https://www.baus.org.uk/patients/surgical_outcomes/pcnl/surgeon.aspx?id=1421). His current research interests focus on service improvement (patient safety/satisfaction and efficiency), with the ultimate aim of maximising patients' experience.
Ben enjoys spending time with his wife watching their children grow up. His playing days are now over but he enjoys watching both rugby and football games and exercises playing squash and running. In 2025 he completed the London Marathon for the NSPCC.
