Prof Shergill treats all diseases of the urinary tract, including those of the kidney, ureter, bladder and prostate. In addition, he also treats diseases of the penis, urethra, scrotum and testicles. This also includes men's health and sexual problems, such as erectile dysfunction (impotence).

In addition, Prof Shergill has excellent experience of regular formal teaching of junior (foundation) doctors in all hospitals throughout his SpR training, and this comprised of case-scenario based discussions (CBD), interactive teaching using Clinical Evaluation Exercises (mini-CEX) as well as tuition of practical skills using direct observation of procedural skills (DOPS).
As a consultant in Wrexham, he is continuing his dedication to teaching by becoming a trainer for higher urology trainees in the Mersey Deanery, as well as Trainer to Foundation Doctors from Wales deanery.
More recently, Prof Shergill has become Course Director of a new intensive rapid revision course for the urology consultants of tomorrow, who are preparing for and undertaking the final FRCS(Urol) examination.
