At Guy's he set up the largest male infertility service from south of the Thames to the south coast, specialising in microsurgery and onco-fertility — fertility preservation in cancer patients.

He is an Associate Professor in Andrology & Infertility at King's College London.
Majed specialises in all aspects of andrology and genito-urethral reconstruction, including complex surgery and prosthetics. He and his team have won several awards for their work in infertility, sickle cell and prostate cancer aftercare. He is held in the highest regard by his peers and patients alike.
Services he has built
Complex genito-urethral reconstruction
Majed specialises in surgical andrology and genito-urethral reconstruction, and set up and runs one of the country's largest tertiary referral andrology practices at Guy's Hospital. He received a UK National Clinical Impact Award for this work in 2022.
Men's health and prosthetic surgery
He is Director and Clinical Lead for the Andrology Prosthesis Centre at Guy's Hospital, a supra-regional network for prosthetic surgery which includes Guy's Hospital, King's College Hospital, Imperial College and Oxford.
Prostate cancer survivorship
Majed is co-founder of the Guy's Hospital Post Prostatectomy Service with his consultant urologist colleague Arun Sahai, a clinic they co-developed in 2019 to redefine optimised care after prostate cancer surgery — to understand the factors involved in helping patients achieve the best functional outcomes and help them return to a normal life after prostate cancer surgery. The clinic and service have won nine awards, including a Guy's and St Thomas' Care Award (2023) and the UK Business Awards as Best Clinical Management System (2023).
Male infertility
He set up the largest male infertility service from south of the Thames to the south coast in 2012, specialising in microsurgery and onco-fertility. At Guy's he runs a national training fellowship in male infertility surgery, and set up one of the few joint fertility clinics with Julia Kopeika in the Guy's Assisted Conception Unit, one of the largest fertility units in the UK, managing complex cases. He is currently involved in writing national practice guidelines for fertility.
Sickle cell and men's health
Majed set up the joint sickle cell urology clinic at Guy's Hospital in 2013 with his haematology consultant colleague Rachel Kesse-Adu, managing patients with sickle cell priapism. The clinic has now expanded to King's College Hospital and the Evelina Hospital. He was awarded a joint grant with Dr Kesse-Adu and the multi-award-winning Sickle Cell Society (UK), and together with industry partners they produced a multi-award-winning video on sickle cell priapism aimed at children with sickle cell disease and their carers. He has been a UK National Haemoglobinopathy Advisory Panel expert member for sickle cell disease since 2020, and is currently involved in writing national practice guidelines for sickle cell priapism.
Urethral reconstruction
He set up and leads the Southeast London Urethral Reconstruction Team at Guy's Hospital, a service established in 2012. He specialises in all types of urethral surgery, including the use of the Optilume balloon device. Together with his consultant colleague Raj Nair, a leading expert in robotic surgery, they also offer buccal graft reconstruction of bladder neck strictures, ureteric strictures and PUJ strictures, with the largest experience of this type of robotic reconstruction in the UK.
