Kevin Turner

Kevin Turner is a Consultant Urological Surgeon in Bournemouth, UK, and a Visiting Professor at Bournemouth University. He studied medicine at the University of Cambridge, where he was awarded a double first-class degree, and completed his clinical training at the University of Oxford. His clinical focus is urological cancer, particularly robotic pelvic surgery.

He was elected a Hunterian Professor of the Royal College of Surgeons of England whilst still a trainee. He also co-edited the Oxford Handbook of Urological Surgery.

In 2015, he co-founded the Bournemouth Surgeon Wellbeing Research Team. This team generates original data on the impact of adverse events on surgeons and investigates novel ways to provide support. In 2020, in conjunction with RCS England, the team chaired the multidisciplinary panel that wrote the RCS Good Practice Guide "Supporting surgeons after adverse events". This work led to SUPPORT—a multi-site improvement collaborative in the UK and Ireland aimed at enabling hospitals to design and deliver peer support for surgeons.
