Mr Cynk was awarded a bachelor’s degree in physiology and then qualified in medicine from the University of London in 1991, completing his undergraduate training at Guy’s Hospital. Following this, he completed further training at the Institute of Urology and hospitals in Brighton and Eastbourne as well as Guy’s Stone Unit and the University of Miami’s Department of Urology. He was awarded fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons’ urology department in 2000. He was appointed as a consultant urological surgeon within the Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, where he is now lead clinician in urology, and the West Kent Urology Partnership in 2002, where he is now clinical director. Mr Cynk sees private patients at The Fordcombe Hospital and KIMS Hospital in Maidstone.

Throughout Mr Cynk’s esteemed career, he has assumed a number of senior roles including chairman of Spire Tunbridge Wells Hospital’s Medical Advisory Committee. He has produced numerous academic publications which appear in peer-reviewed journals and is a member of several esteemed professional bodies, including the British Association of Urological Surgeons and the European Association of Urologists.

Additional to his clinical and leadership responsibilities, Mr Cynk is also a highly respected educator and was appointed as module clinical advisor and honorary senior lecturer at Kent and Medway Medical School in 2021. He is also chairman of the Holmium Academy, a national organisation which provides support for clinicians learning laser techniques and has travelled internationally on many occasions to train fellow urologists around the world in the use of HoLEP technology.
