About Neil Barber
Mr Neil Barber was appointed as Consultant Urological Surgeon to Frimley Park Hospital in 2005 with a remit to deliver core urology but also specialist care in the fields of BPH and renal cancer, over the last 20 years, Mr Barber has been at the forefront of changes in these fields.
As Director of the Frimley Renal Cancer Service overseeing the introduction of both the Da Vinci and Versius robotic platforms to the trust and the delivery of the highest number of robotic assisted partial nephrectomy per year in the UK. Having established the Frimley Benign Prostate Clinical Research Centre, Mr Barber has led and been involved in all the clinical trials in this rapidly evolving field, facilitating the introduction of Greenlight laser, Urolift, iTIND, and most recently Aquablation to the UK. He is a globally recognised key opinion leader, lecturing and teaching all over the world, including the European School of Urology, and has sat as a clinical expert for NICE for plasma TURP, Greenlight laser, Urolift, Rezum, iTIND, and Aquablation.
As part of our Men's Health team, Mr Barber continues to lead or be involved in all ongoing and planned high quality trials in this field and as a member of the GIRFT BPH committee and working with NHS England, he has helped develop both new guidelines and patient information animations to improve BPH management and treatment across the UK. As one of the highest volume BPH surgeons in Europe, he has performed Aquablation of the prostate since 2015 and many hundreds of cases and remains enthusiastic and involved in the future development of this exciting new technology. He continues to work to bring new technology to patients across the speciality with the overarching aim to offer patients the highest quality care.
