After junior fellowships at the Royal Free Hospital, Mr Dudderidge worked as a lecturer in urological molecular pathology. He completed the urology MSc, and undertook laboratory and clinical research leading to a research masters degree, MD.
Mr Dudderidge started specialist urological training at King's College Hospital, including laparoscopic training in urological oncology and general urology focusing on day case treatment of prostate enlargement. He then spent time at University College London, Wexham Park Hospital, The Royal Marsden and Imperial College. Following his urology specialist training, Mr Dudderidge was appointed as the first Royal College of Surgeons fellow in robotic surgery, which allowed him a year of training in robotic prostatectomy and other major urological procedures.
Following this, Mr Dudderidge spent two years at the Royal Marsden Hospital, initially as a senior fellow and then as a locum consultant working in uro-oncology. During that time he become an expert in robotic prostatectomy and also delivered the UK's first series of robotic retroperitoneal lymph node dissections (RPLNDs).
Mr Dudderidge's final training post in 2012 was as a senior fellow learning robotic cystectomy at University College London.
Experience
Mr Dudderidge is a specialist prostate cancer surgeon delivering diagnostics and treatments including robotic prostatectomy, focal therapy with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryotherapy and nanoknife. He also supports the high-dose rate (HDR) prostate brachytherapy service. Mr Dudderidge is particularly interested in salvage treatment after radiotherapy and focal therapy failure, and performs complex post treatment prostatectomy and salvage lymph node excision.
