Mr Adam Cox

Mr Adam Christopher Cox (GMC 6144199) is a Consultant Urological and Robotic Surgeon in South East Wales.  He holds his NHS position in the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, at the Royal Gwent Hospital, where he is the Urology Cancer Lead and Assigned Educational Supervisor for core surgical trainees. Mr Cox is recognised as a professional expert commentator on the topic of benign prostate enlargement by NICE (the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence). Mr Cox was awarded a postgraduate doctorate (MD) by Cardiff University following scientific research into mechanisms of prostate cancer development at the European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute, findings from which he presented nationally and internationally. He later went on to complete sub-specialist training in prostate cancer and robotic surgery under the mentorship of some of the UK's leading experts in the field. Mr Cox’s training has influenced his sub-specialist interests and expertise.  He is the only surgeon in Wales able to offer a complete service for men concerned about prostate cancer or urinary symptoms caused by benign prostate enlargement, irrespective of prostate size. He thus attracts referrals for difficult cases from a wide geographical area. Mr Cox sees private patients at St Joseph's Hospital, Harding Avenue, Newport, NP20 6ZE.  He welcomes self-funding and insured patients and is recognised by all of the main insurers. Referrals are recommended but are not essential. With prior agreement, telephone consultations can be agreed subject to the nature of the complaint, and would require an accompanying written referral – please contact secretary Natalie North to discuss (Tel: 07833 657306, Email: gwenturology@gmail.com).  Clinics are held every Wednesday afternoon and operating lists usually on alternate Fridays all day.
