Kamran is the chief investigator of a first-of-its-kind trial that studies the impact of prostate cancer on men's well-being and mental health i.e. Mental well-being and quality of life in Prostate cancer (MIND-P). The MIND-P study is a multi-institutional collaboration across seven hospitals in London and the South of England. This trial is funded byMale infertility
Kamran has contributed significantly to the medical literature on the associations between male subfertility, mental well-being, and various oncological conditionsMedical Education
Kamran has contributed significantly to the medical education literature. Widely used scientifically developed and validated urology surgical curricula include Robot assisted prostatectomy training curriculum for prostate cancer surgery training, Radical nephrectomy curriculum for kidney cancer surgical training, and Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for kidney stone surgery training. He was the leading member of the team that conducted first international randomized controlled trial on association between surgical simulation and patient outcomes. Key areas that have been researched and developed include: - Ward Round Assessment Tool (surgical ward round assessment tool - SWAT) . SWAT can be used to assess the quality of nontechnical surgical ward round skills of medical students and residents. - Development and validation of a tool for non-technical skills evaluation in robotic surgery-the ICARS system . ICARS is the first non-technical skills (NTS) evaluation tool developed for the robot assisted surgery. - Development and content validation of the Urethroplasty Training and Assessment Tool (UTAT) for dorsal onlay buccal mucosa graft urethroplasty . This is the first of its kind technical skills assessment tool for trainee surgeons who are in the phase of learning reconstructive urethral surgery.Research work
He is one of the key members of the team that introduced the first simulation-based surgical and urology resident education Training Programme at King's College London and Guy's Hospital, London. He was the leading member of the team that set up clinic-based care for urethral stricture patients at a level 1 trauma centre, King's College Hospital, London The services included care of trauma and non-trauma related urethral injuries. He significantly contributed to training and education at the organisations likeBooks
