Personal Profile

Prostate specialist Mr John Parkin graduated from St Mary’s Hospital Medical School in 1994, then undertook surgical training in Scarborough, Bristol and New Zealand.

This was followed by six years as a specialist registrar in Urology in the West Midlands including at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, working in general urology, endourology and laparoscopy. In 2005, Mr Parkin was elected to serve as a junior representative on the BAUS (British Association of Urological Surgeons) committee for endourology.
