Mr. Simon Brewster specialises in prostate cancer and other prostate disease (PSA kinetics, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis). He is trained as a general urologist and treats a variety of conditions including blood in the urine (haematuria), bladder cancer and recurrent urinary infections. Simon finished his basic medical training at Charing Cross Hospital in 1986, graduating with honours in Pathology and a 1st class BSc degree in Anatomy. He worked as an anatomy demonstrator at his medical school for a year before moving to Bristol to train in Urology.

Mr. Brewster developed his interest in prostate disease during his urology training. He also has a passion for research having spent two years in full-time laboratory research, leading to the award of his MD doctorate thesis in 1993 from Bristol University. During the final stages of his training he attained the FRCS (Urology) and went to John Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore to develop expertise in radical prostatectomy with Dr Patrick Walsh. He was appointed as a consultant and honorary senior lecturer in Oxford in 1998, where he pioneered the prostate cancer diagnostic and active surveillance services, radical prostatectomy, transperineal prostate biopsy and Holmium laser prostate enucleation (HoLEP).
