Reviews
Highly professional with a caring manner he took time to explain the underlying issues and explain his decisions
Mr Nim, was very helpful and caring and took the time to explain the possible outcomes and the biopsy itself.
I was very pleased with Mr Arum’s care, investigations and TURP treatment for my prostate condition.
Mr Arumainayagam is a very personable consultant and a highly effective communicator; he provides clear guidance and advice and sets out medical results and processes concisely.
He provided details of the next steps in my treatment and provided comforting reassurance about my results and outlook.
He was very attentive to me and prepared to accommodate changes to plans and schedules when needed. In particular, when I was bleeding from a stent placed during an operation performed privately, he arranged to have it removed at very short notice (same day) in the NHS. I thought he had an excellent manner and I would trust his surgical skills.

Profile
I am a Consultant Urological Surgeon and the Clinical Lead (Clinical Director) for the department of Urology at Ashford and St Peter's Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust). I am also the Lead Cancer Clinician for the trust.
I have sub-specialist interests in stone disease of the urinary tract (expert in rigid and flexible ureteroscopy and laser fragmentation, percutaneous nephrolithotomy and ESWL), and prostate cancer diagnostics having set up the transperineal template mapping biopsy service at my trust.
I have also recently implemented the new fast track prostate cancer diagnostic pathway for patients referred to Ashford and St Peter's Hospital, to ensure a quick and timely service to our patients referred with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer by virtue of a raised PSA or abnormal examination findings. I also cover a wide scope of urological practice and can undertake newer treatments for benign prostate enlargement (Urolift, Rezum, Greenlight PVP, TURP surgery and evaluation for prostate artery embolization). I also treat bladder cancer, testicular cancer and a wide range of benign urological conditions.
I am passionate in aiming to deliver high quality patient centred care, with an emphasis on a holistic approach and collaborative decision making with my patients.
