Kamran Ahmed

Kamran Ahmed (MBBS, MRCS, PhD, FRCS Urol) is a Professor and a Urological Surgeon who is affiliated with Sheikh Khalifa Medical City, Abu Dhabi, UAE, Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi and King's College London, United Kingdom.[1][2]

Career edit

Kamran has published more than 300 Medline indeed articles and publications of abstracts in medical journals.[3] He is the editor of a number of medical education, simulation, surgical and urological textbooks and has written a number of book chapters. He has served on the Editorial Board of the British Journal of Urology International (BJUI).[4] Kamran has a major interest in education, and has been the lead for Surgical Sciences iBSc modules at King's College London,[1] the education lead for EULIS section of European Association of Urology (EAU),[5] board member of Junior ERUS-EAU and tutor on the European Urology Resident Education Programme (EUREP).[6]

He serves on the board of Frontiers in Reproductive Health journal as an Associate Editor for the Andrology section.[7] He is also an associate board member of the European Association of Urology sections of EULIS and ESUT.[8]

Prostate cancer edit

Kamran is the chief investigator of a first-of-its-kind trial that studies the impact of prostate cancer on men's well-being and mental health i.e. Mental well-being and quality of life in Prostate cancer (MIND-P).[9] The MIND-P study is a multi-institutional collaboration across seven hospitals in London and the South of England.[10] This trial is funded by King's Health Partners. The greatest disease impact on men's well-being has been reported to be at the time of the diagnosis of prostate cancer, with subsequent anxiety and concern about the disease progression.[11] The trial is expected to be completed and disseminated in 2023.[12]

Male infertility edit

Kamran has contributed significantly to the medical literature on the associations between male subfertility,[13][14] mental well-being, and various oncological conditions [15][16][17]

Medical Education edit

Kamran has contributed significantly to the medical education literature. Widely used scientifically developed and validated urology surgical curricula include Robot assisted prostatectomy training curriculum for prostate cancer surgery training,[18] Radical nephrectomy curriculum for kidney cancer surgical training,[19] and Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for kidney stone surgery training.[20] He was the leading member of the team that conducted first international randomized controlled trial on association between surgical simulation and patient outcomes.[21][22] Key areas that have been researched and developed include:

- Ward Round Assessment Tool (surgical ward round assessment tool - SWAT) . SWAT can be used to assess the quality of nontechnical surgical ward round skills of medical students and residents.[23]

- Development and validation of a tool for non-technical skills evaluation in robotic surgery-the ICARS system . ICARS is the first non-technical skills (NTS) evaluation tool developed for the robot assisted surgery.[24]

- Development and content validation of the Urethroplasty Training and Assessment Tool (UTAT) for dorsal onlay buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty . This is the first of its kind technical skills assessment tool for trainee surgeons who are in the phase of learning reconstructive urethral surgery.[25]

Research work edit

He is one of the key members of the team that introduced the first simulation-based surgical and urology resident education Training Programme at King's College London and Guy's Hospital, London.[26][27][28] He was the leading member of the team that set up clinic-based care for urethral stricture patients at a level 1 trauma centre, King's College Hospital, London[29][30][31][32] The services included care of trauma and non-trauma related urethral injuries. He significantly contributed to training and education at the organisations like European Association of Urology (EAU), IRCAD centre (Taiwan), and Karl- Storz training centre, Berlin Germany.[5]
