Mr Nicholas Buchan

Nick joined the practice from Vancouver in Canada, where he undertook a fellowship in uro-oncology and robotic surgery at the Prostate Centre based at Vancouver General Hospital and affiliated with the University of British Columbia. It is one of the largest research and clinical centres in the world that focuses on translational research into prostatic diseases and in particular prostate cancer.

He has a particular interest in uro-oncology, especially prostate cancer, and has been extensively trained in open and robotic surgery.

Born and raised in Christchurch, he is pleased to be back and able to see the Crusaders live on their home turf again. Nick is Managing Director of Urology Associates, director of Canterbury Urology Research Trust, a Clinical Senior Lecturer, University of Otago, Christchurch, a urologist at Christchurch Hospital and is the Clinical Lead for Urology at Te Whatu Ora Te Wai o Poutini West Coast, Grey Base Hospital.
