Professional background
Mr Benjamin Lamb is a Consultant Urologist and Robotic Surgeon at University College London Hospital (UCLH). His clinical practice focuses on prostate cancer diagnosis, risk stratification, and management, with extensive experience in robotic-assisted surgery using the da Vinci system, having performed over 600 procedures. He also has particular expertise in image-guided diagnostic techniques, including MRI–ultrasound fusion prostate biopsy, and manages the full spectrum of urological oncology.
Mr Lamb trained in general urology across London and the Southeast of England, before undertaking specialist training in prostate cancer and robotic-assisted surgery. This culminated in a Fellowship in Urological Oncology and Robotic Surgery at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia, a leading international tertiary cancer centre, where he further refined his approach to complex urological malignancies and minimally invasive surgery.
In addition to his clinical work, Mr Lamb holds senior leadership roles within UCLH and the wider NHS. He is Lead Clinician for Urological Cancer Specialist Multidisciplinary Teams (MDTs) across the North East and North Central London NHS regions, coordinating integrated cancer care pathways for patients with prostate and bladder cancer across multiple NHS trusts. In this capacity, he chairs MDT meetings to ensure coordinated, evidence-based management and represents UCLH in regional cancer networks and strategic planning, reflecting a strong commitment to optimising NHS cancer pathways and multidisciplinary care.
Mr Lamb is recognised nationally and internationally through a number of professional affiliations. He is a Prostate Cancer UK Clinical Champion and serves on the Executive Committee of the Oncology Section of the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS). He is a member of the European Association of Urology and a Council Member of the Urology Section of the Royal Society of Medicine, supporting professional standards, education, and service development in urology.
His research and academic interests centre on improving clinical processes, MDT efficiency, and integrated cancer care pathways. He is actively involved in quality improvement initiatives within UCLH and across NHS London regions, contributing to enhanced patient outcomes and robust clinical governance. Mr Lamb places a strong emphasis on patient-centred care, prioritising comprehensive assessment and shared decision-making, and works closely with patients and their families to develop individualised management plans that balance oncological control with quality of life and symptom management.
Mr Lamb offers flexible consultation options to suit patient needs. He provides NHS robotic surgical treatment at UCLH within established NHS pathways. He maintains close coordination with referring clinicians and primary care teams to ensure seamless continuity of care.
