Mrs Maya Harris
Mrs Maya Harris studied at the Medical Academy of Latvia and University of Edinburgh, then worked and trained in hospitals in the north of England, including the renowned The Christie Hospital in Manchester, the largest single site cancer centre in Europe. At The Christie, Maya undertook a fellowship, the highest form of specialist training, concentrating on urological cancers.
She is a member of the Royal College of Surgeons, the American Urological Association, and the European Urology Association, where she was awarded the prestigious Campbell Prize for her expertise in urology.
Maya has a master’s degree in translational medicine: the aim of applying laboratory research to clinical work with patients. Her work was focused on biomarkers to predict prostate cancer risk.
Maya was appointed to her current post, consultant urologist for Warwick Hospital, in 2013. Her main interests are treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and kidney stones. She has always been at the forefront of treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia, as she was one of the first UK surgeons to introduce the UroLift and Rezum procedures and also recently Aquablation, a revolutionary robotic technique.
She also covers all forms of general urology including treatment for recurrent urinary tract infections and urgency/urge incontinence. Maya is one of a small number of female consultant urologists in private practice.
“My focus is on being approachable and making patients feel comfortable and understood. Good communication is essential in medicine, and I strive to create an open and supportive environment where patients can talk freely about their concerns. While some women may prefer to see a female urologist, I have extensive experience treating both male and female patients. I am passionate about improving treatments for benign prostatic enlargement and take pride in offering the widest range of advanced procedures in the region.”
Maya consults privately as a BPC consultant at Nuffield Health Warwickshire Hospital and Spire Parkway Hospital.
