Her specialist interest is male factor infertility, particularly in regard to surgical sperm retrieval (microTESE), vasectomy reversal and epididymal reconstruction. UCLH has a very strong fertility preservation service and Pippa runs the male service, with strong interests in spermatogonial stem cell preservation in young men with about to received chemotherapy/radiotherapy. She has built strong links with the reproductive medicine unit, endocrinology, haematology and oncology to ensure the fertility of these patients can be preserved or helped. 

In addition to providing surgical care to men requiring penile implants, Peyronie’s disease correction, testicle pathology and endocrine/hormonal stimulation. She runs the multidisciplinary Klinefelter clinic covering the endocrine, psychological and urological needs for boys and men with Klinefelter disease. 

Pippa runs the benign andrology fellowship at UCLH, including running the application and interview process and the surgical and educational timetable for the large benign team. She is a lecturer for the MSc in reproductive health and runs several projects with these students. 

She is well published and spends much of her time giving talks at an international and national level.
