Stavros Gourgiotis MD PhD PGCert FACS FEBS FRCS MFSTEd

I am a Consultant Surgeon with a robust background in general/emergency surgery, trauma, and UGI surgery. Currently, I hold a position at Addenbrooke’s CUH NHS Foundation Trust.

I earned my Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS Equivalent) from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, followed by my graduation as a Second Lieutenant from the Military School of Combat Support Officers in Thessaloniki, Greece.

I have been awarded a Doctorate in Medicine from the Medical School of Athens University and I hold a PGCert in Medical Education from Cambridge University. I am a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and a Fellow of the European Board of Surgery. I am also a Member of the Faculty of Surgical Trainers of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

I have a strong academic record, with extensive publications, books, and book chapters. I have delivered numerous presentations at conferences and hold positions as Associate Editor, Editorial Board Member, and Reviewer for several journals. My research experience includes initiating and collaborating on numerous national and international projects and audits.

Undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as training, are among my greatest passions. I have extensive experience as a clinical and educational supervisor, director, tutor, and faculty member in courses on advanced surgical skills, management of critically ill surgical patients, and cadaveric thoracotomy and laparotomy courses.

I have focused my research primarily on emergency surgery, trauma, and UGI surgery, with particular emphasis on conditions such as cholelithiasis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis, and safe cholecystectomy. I am keen to develop surgical networks across East Anglia and support trainees interested in the above-mentioned fields.
