Kevin Turner was appointed as a Consultant Urological Surgeon in Bournemouth in 2007 and as a Visiting Professor at Bournemouth University in 2017. He trained in Cambridge, Oxford, Edinburgh and Melbourne. His principal interests are in urological cancer and particularly resectional surgery for pelvic (bladder and prostate) cancer and robotic surgery. He also has a broad general urology practice. He is committed to training and developing young surgeons: he is a former faculty member for the Training the Trainers course (Royal College of Surgeons of England), he is a current FRCS Urology oral examiner, and is an educational and clinical supervisor to urological trainees. He is an experienced researcher and has published regularly during his career. He is co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of Urological Surgery (OUP 2020), has published several book chapters and numerous original research papers, abstracts, and review articles. His research on angiogenesis in renal cancer was awarded a Royal College of Surgeons Research Fellowship and the European Association of Urology Thesis Award. The quality of this research was recognised when he was elected to the office of Hunterian Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons whilst still a trainee.
