About Professor Rakesh Heer
Professor Heer has extensive experience across the full breadth of general urology. He has specialist interests focused on all aspects of management for prostate and bladder cancer. In particular, he has a reputable high volume robotic surgery practice for prostatectomy (removal of the prostate for cancer), cystectomy (removal of the bladder), and urinary tract reconstruction (ileal conduits and orthotopic bladders). Professor Heer provides excellent surgical outcomes, benchmarked against national standards (BAUS and National Prostate Cancer Audits). He also provides care for male sexual dysfunction, which can follow with these major surgeries.
Beyond surgical outcomes, Professor Heer puts patient experience at the heart of his clinical care with holistic and timely management. He is approachable, honest, and caring. He will provide thorough explanations of your condition, investigations and all the options for surgical treatment and non-surgical management.
Professor Heer holds several major national leadership roles, including Chairman of the NICE guideline writing committees (describing national standard of high-quality care) and Deputy Chair of the NIHR’s Health Technology Assessment committee (the biggest funder of innovative clinical research in the UK).
He has several awards and accolades recognising his substantial contributions to clinical research, including an Huntarian Professorship Medal from the Royal College of Surgeons of England, invitations to present at international meetings, and prestigious Clinician Scientist Fellowships (CRUK and MRC).
Professor Heer’s outstanding work across the domains of (i) clinical care, (ii) developing innovative service to improve patient outcomes, national leadership, (iii) world leading research, and (iv) teaching and training of other doctors was recognised by a prestigious National Clinical Excellence Award (2021).
