Mr Simpson Graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2010 with an Honours Degree in Medicine and Surgery and a 1st Class Honours Degree in Human Anatomy and Cell Biology. He went on to complete his surgical training in the North-West of England specialising in General Surgery and Colorectal Surgery with a subspecialist interest in complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
During training, Mr Simpson published widely and had a specific interest in outcomes following major surgery and the effect of a patients muscle mass on their outcomes. He went on to be awarded the ‘John of Arderne’ Medal by the Royal Society of Medicine for his work in this area.
At the end of his training, Mr Simpson was awarded the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland Gold Medal having been the top performing surgical registrar in the UK in the Royal College of Surgeons FRCS exams.
Following completion of surgical training, Mr Simpson completed a fellowship in the National Intestinal Failure Unit in Salford, UK, learning techniques in complex and re-operative surgery. During this time, he was able to gain significant experience in complex abdominal wall reconstruction.
Mr Simpson is fully trained in robotic surgery and performs most of his operations using the DaVinci Surgical robot. He has travelled to learn from surgeons in USA, Austria, France and Spain to develop expertise in robotic abdominal wall reconstruction. This has allowed Mr Simpson to be the first Surgeon in the North West of England to perform a robotic abdominal wall reconstruction. Currently, Mr Simpson has performed more Robotic complex abdominal wall reconstruction operations than any other Surgeon in the UK.
In addition to his own surgical practice, Mr Simpson now trains other Consultant Surgeons in the UK and overseas in performing abdominal wall reconstruction operations.
