Mr. Walker graduated from Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School and undertook higher surgical and urological training in the West London region.

He spent a year at the Institute of Urology, University College, London where his research was in the area of bladder dysfunction, urinary incontinence and urodynamics. He has published widely in this area.
He undertook fellowship periods to Duke University and Cedars Sinai, Los Angeles in the USA. More recently he has returned from a year in New Zealand where he worked in the spinal injuries unit while providing continence and urogynaecology services to the region.

Recent guidance from the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has highlighted the common problem of urinary incontinence in women. It recommends only specialists with appropriate training and performing a sufficient number of procedures undertake assessment and surgery.
