Prof. Dr.TanArulampalam

I completed a two-year research post and was awarded an MD by the University of London. My sub-speciality interests are Gastrointestinal and Laparoscopic surgery. I was awarded the 2003 David Dunn Travelling Fellowship by the Association of Endoscopic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland and used this to gain specialist laparoscopic training in Italy working with Professor Cristiano Huscher. As a Consultant General Surgeon, with an interest in Gastrointestinal and Laparoscopic surgery, I have developed my practice in three main areas. Firstly, the delivery of a competent safe surgical service; secondly, to pursue areas of surgical research interest. Finally, I have committed to teaching and training both undergraduates and postgraduate student doctors and nurses. I am a recent past member of council of the Royal Society of Medicine, section of Coloproctology. I was one of only twenty laparoscopic colorectal Preceptors in the UK and I have been responsible for helping establish a laparoscopic colorectal service at Welwyn Garden City, Mansfield, Lincoln, Stoke-on-Trent, and Milton Keynes General Hospital. As a trainer on the National Laparoscopic Colorectal Training Programme I am responsible for training at Manchester, Bedford, Romford, Ipswich and Bury St Edmunds.
