Mr Kamran Haq
BMBS, FRCS (Urol), PG Cert; MedEd, ClinRes Delivery
I am a dual fellowship-trained Consultant Urological Surgeon at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, with a specialist focus on the surgical management of kidney and testicular cancers. I also manage a broad range of general urological conditions.
I completed my medical degree and foundation training in the South West of England, followed by core surgical training in Surrey and higher specialist training in urology in the North East. After qualifying as a consultant in 2022, I undertook two post-CCT fellowships in high-volume tertiary centres—initially at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, and subsequently at Guy’s Hospital in London, where I was later appointed to a permanent consultant position.

My clinical expertise includes both minimally invasive (robotic) and open renal and retroperitoneal surgery, including complex cases involving vascular extension such as vena cava involvement.
Beyond clinical practice, I am actively engaged in research and education. I hold postgraduate qualifications in both fields and have presented my work at national and international conferences, receiving several awards. I am passionate about teaching and serve as faculty on a number of national urology courses, as well as examining for Newcastle Medical School. I’m committed to supporting the next generation of surgeons and to widening access to careers in urology.
I strive to provide high-quality, patient-centred care and feel privileged to work as part of a world-leading team at Guy’s. Having grown up in London, I am proud to contribute to improving healthcare in the community I call home.
