Biography
Mr Ahmed is a Consultant Urologist (Hon) at King’s College Hospital, King’s Health Partners and a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at King’s College London (KCL). He is a specialist in andrology (men’s health, male sexual/erectile dysfunction, Peyronie’s disease, low testosterone management), infertility management, and urethral stricture surgery.
Mr Ahmed also has expertise in managing lower urinary tract disorders (caused by enlarged prostate or bladder dysfunction, or incontinence), recurrent urinary tract infections (cystitis, kidney infections), pelvic pain and chronic prostatitis, and other general benign and malignant urology conditions.
He completed his specialist urology training in London, and undertook clinical fellowship training at University College London Hospital in andrology, men’s reconstructive surgery, and infertility management. He holds a PhD degree in Surgical Education from Imperial College London, and he is also a NHS Clinical Entrepreneur.
He has received a number of awards, and clinical and educational grants, from various organisations, including the European Association of Urology, the British Association of Urological Surgeons, the Royal College of Surgeons, the National Institute for Health Research, Coptcoat Charity, and Pelican Group.
Mr Ahmed has published widely, with nearly 200 peer-reviewed publications and around 300 national and international conference presentations. He is editor and author of three urological text books and has written a number of book chapters. He is also on the Editorial Board of BJUI. He is the lead for Surgical Sciences iBSC modules at KCL. He is education lead for EULIS section of European Association of Urology (EAU), board member of Junior ERUS-EAU and tutor on the European Urology Resident Education Programme (EUREP). He has been invited as visiting professor or lecturer to institutions in the USA, Europe, and Middle East.
