Miss Philippa (Pippa) Sangster

Ms Sangster is a consultant urologist at King Edward VII’s Hospital and at University College London Hospital, where she is the lead for male infertility.

She has further degrees in Psychology (BSc) and was awarded a gold medal in the Urology MSc before achieving FRCS (Urol).

Her main area of expertise is Andrology and she is particularly interested in male factor infertility and fertility preservation. She has strong links with the Gynaecology, Endocrinology, Haematology and Oncology teams to ensure that the fertility of these patients can be preserved or helped. Men about to undergo cancer treatment or those wanting to investigate their fertility potential post chemotherapy/radiotherapy can be assessed and treated quickly.

She is also interested in the diagnosis and management of men with erectile dysfunction in general and Peyronie’s disease in particular.

She is a member of the British Association of Urological Surgeons. In addition to regularly reviewing journals for the British Journal of Urology, she participates heavily in the training and education of the Andrology trainees at UCLH hospital. She presents nationally and internationally on andrological topics.

I am one of the few specialists treating male infertility and have good links with surrounding IVF units, as well as endocrinology and oncology, to help with fertility preservation.
