He practises at The Prostate Centre, near Harley Street, while his NHS base is University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Professor Shaw is highly qualified with a BSc, MBBS and MD from the University of London, as well as an MRCS and FRCS (Urol) from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. After developing an interest in prostate cancer whilst undertaking his MD, he began his specialist urologist training in North London where he was awarded his urology fellowship.
Following this, he completed a four year lectureship at The University of Cambridge where he worked in a world-class research team, generated important research findings and was awarded a fellowship in robotic surgery.
Professor Shaw has performed over 1,300 robotic radical prostatectomies to date and strives to evaluate and incorporate the best technical modifications to attain excellent results. He prides himself in his very low complication rate.

He has been awarded prizes for lectures delivered at international and national conferences, and one research project he conducted led to significant media interest including a front page article in The Daily Telegraph alongside global press coverage.
