Mr Peter William Cooke is a highly experienced and respected consultant urological surgeon at The Harborne Hospital, Edgbaston and The Nuffield Health Wolverhampton Hospital. He specialises in robotic surgery in urology, prostatectomy, prostate cancer diagnosis, bladder problems, scrotal swellings and cystoscopy. In addition to his clinical responsibilities, he serves as the Clinical Lead in urology for the Black Country and West Birmingham Integrated Care System.
He has held numerous medical leadership positions at the Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust, such as serving as the clinical director of his Urology Department, chairing the Trust Senior Medical Staff Committee, chair of the Specialist Multidisciplinary Team, being a member of the Trust Cancer Board and leading the West Midlands Cancer Alliance Urology Expert Advisory Group.
Specialising in robotic surgery, Mr Cooke has personally performed around 2000 complex urological cases over the last 20 years. He introduced and developed robotic surgery in the Midlands in 2011. His average annual case load for robotic radical prostatectomy exceeds 100 cases, with over 1000 robotic prostatectomies and nearly 500 laparoscopic prostate and kidney cases to his credit. He is one of very few surgeons to perform robotic bladder removal with internal new bladder reconstruction. He gained recognition in the Daily Mail Good Doctor guide 2018, ranking among the top 20 prostate cancer surgeons in the UK.
NHS data for 2021 demonstrated that Mr Cooke's team achieved complication rates within the best 5% nationally. In 2022, his team also had the shortest hospital stays for both prostatectomy and cystectomy (bladder removal) in the country. These accomplishments highlight Mr Cooke's dedication to delivering high-quality care and optimising surgical outcomes in urology.

- Very professional and explained what have caused my problems and conducted an examination.So for the first time in 3 months I felt that someone really had gone to the trouble of explaining why things were occurring. I felt calm and reassured.Brilliant.
