At James Cook University Hospital he specialised in functional, reconstructive and neurourology, including looking after patients with spinal cord injuries at the Golden Jubilee regional spinal injuries unit.

He regularly takes part in the Urodynamics and Andrology MDTs. He offers a wide range of procedures for troublesome bladder issues, including sacral nerve stimulation, where he is one of the highest volume implanting surgeons in Europe.  He offers both endoscopic and open urethral stricture surgery, and is experienced in prosthetic urology, including penile implants for erectile dysfunction, and artificial urinary sphincter insertion for stress incontinence.
