Professor Prabhakar Rajan is a leading consultant urological and robotic surgeon based in London, UK.  He treats patients with general urological conditions such as foreskin problems, scrotal swelling, prostatitis, bladder problems, and blood in the urine.  He specialises in PSA testing, prostate MRI, prostate cancer, robotic surgery, prostatectomy, and testicular cancer. Professor Rajan is dedicated to improving outcomes of patients after robotic surgery and uses nerve-sparing (including NeuroSAFE frozen section) and Retzius-sparing (continence sparing) techniques. He consults at Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew's and The Holly Hospitals, HCA UK Canary Wharf and HCA UK at The Shard.

After graduation from the University of Cambridge, Professor Rajan pursued surgical training in the East of Scotland, where he developed an interest in urology. Subsequently, he undertook a full-time PhD in Prostate Cancer Biology at Newcastle University, funded by a prestigious Medical Research Council Clinical Research Training Fellowship. His research focused on the genetic underpinnings of prostate cancer, laying the foundations for his future work in the field.

Following his PhD, Professor Rajan completed urology training in the West of Scotland, focussing on complex urological cancer surgery.  In parallel, he continued his research as a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Glasgow and the Cancer Research UK (CR-UK) Beatson Institute. His innovative work earned him the distinction of being the first urologist in Scotland to receive the Royal College of Surgeons of England/CR-UK Clinician Scientist Fellowship in Surgery.
