About Professor Richard Hindley

Appointed as a Consultant Urologist in 2004 following a fellowship in Brisbane in 2003. Initially appointed as a laparoscopic surgeon for upper urinary tract malignancy and prostate cancer diagnostics and BPH. Within 2 years of his appointment, he had introduced the Greenlight laser procedure for men with benign prostate problems as well as HIFU treatment for prostate cancer. Always interested in research and innovation Richard has collaborated closely with UCLH, Imperial and Oxford Universities. He was a key member of the team working with the MRC to set up and recruit to the groundbreaking PROMIS trial which has forever changed the diagnostic pathway for men with suspected prostate cancer with the incorporation of multiparametric MRI as the triage tool prior to biopsy. Increasingly the majority of his work both clinical and academic is focussed on the prostate. He has now published over 100 predominantly prostate related publications in the urological literature. In 2017 he was awarded a visiting professor position at the University of Winchester in recognition of this. He is currently working on a project to improve decision-making for men facing a multitude of treatment options for benign prostate problems.
In early 2017 he performed the first UK cases of Rezum water vapour therapy for men with symptoms due to benign prostate enlargement, and is now a recognised key opinion leader in the field of minimally invasive prostate treatments with experience of the majority of treatment options currently available. He is also one of very few urologists in Europe to have approaching 15 years of experience of focal therapy for prostate cancer. He is currently working on projects to try and reduce the National waiting list for men waiting for BPH treatments, and he has just recently received a research grant of £1M to investigate further the use of prostate AI in collaboration with Lucida Medical.
