While in Adelaide he worked at hospitals affiliated with both Flinders University and the University of South Australia.

After completing his advanced urology training and gaining his Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons in Urology, he moved to Bristol in the United Kingdom where he did an extended urology fellowship programme with David Gillet through the Bristol Urological Institute.  This fellowship was in uro-oncology and robotics.  Kevin is a general urologist but with a subspecialist interest in urological malignancies, particularly with minimally invasive therapeutic options.  He has a particular interest in robotic surgery.

Nick joined the practice from Vancouver in Canada, where he undertook a fellowship in uro-oncology and robotic surgery at the Prostate Centre based at Vancouver General Hospital and affiliated with the University of British Columbia. It is one of the largest research and clinical centres in the world that focuses on translational research into prostatic diseases and in particular prostate cancer.

Prior to his fellowship in Canada, Nick undertook his urology training in Brisbane, Australia following his medical school and house surgeon years in Dunedin and Christchurch. He has a particular interest in uro-oncology, especially prostate cancer, and has been extensively trained in open and robotic surgery.

Born and raised in Christchurch, he is pleased to be back and able to see the Crusaders live on their home turf again.

After completing her urological training Jane undertook fellowship positions in London and Ireland. She spent two years at the Institute of Urology and Nephrology in London as a fellow in the reconstruction unit learning urethroplasty for male stricture disease and in particular the use of buccal mucosal grafts. Jane followed this with a year in Limerick in southwest Ireland as a fellow in female urology. She gained considerable experience in surgery for stress incontinence and also non-operative management of female incontinence.

As well as these subspecialties, Jane really enjoys core urology and in particular managing lower urinary tract symptoms in men, counselling men with abnormal PSAs and stone disease. Jane is a urologist at Christchurch Hospital, a Clinical Senior Lecturer, University of Otago, Christchurch and a trustee of Canterbury Urology Research Trust.

Louise is a subspecialist endourologist whose key interests are the surgical and medical management of urinary stone disease. She returned from the United Kingdom where she completed a fellowship in endourology at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust and an honorary urology fellowship in spinal injuries at Stoke Mandeville National Spinal Injuries Centre. During this time she also completed laboratory research in the ureteroscopic management of stones with the Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences University of Oxford and the Oxford Institute of Biomedical Engineering.

Having grown up and attended school in Methven, Mid Canterbury she was then directly accepted to The University of Auckland for undergraduate medical training. Her urological training has taken her to multiple locations across New Zealand from Auckland to Invercargill which is where she met her husband. They have two boys.

She is pleased to have returned home from the UK and be putting to good use the skills she has gained internationally in the treatment of urinary stone disease and management of the urinary tract in those with neurological injuries. In addition she has a specific interest in the investigation and management of bladder dysfunction and continence.

In her spare moments Louise will be spending time at the family farm in Methven or indulging her love of embroidery and snow skiing in the winter and water skiing in summer.

Louise is a urologist at Christchurch Hospital and also works at the Burwood Spinal Unit. She is a trustee of Canterbury Urology Research Trust and a Clinical Senior Lecturer, University of Otago, Christchurch.
