From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]
