About me

Mr Camilleri-Brennan is a Consultant in General and Colorectal Surgery, practicing at Forth Valley Royal Hospital (NHS Forth Valley) and in the private sector. For many years he held the posts of Lead Clinician for Colorectal Cancer and Clinical Lead of Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme at Forth Valley. He holds the post of Honorary Clinical Associate Professor in Surgery with the University of Glasgow.

In 2022 he was elected Vice-President (Surgical) of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, responsible for postgraduate surgical education. Prior to this appointment he was Associate Director of Surgical Examinations, Regional Advisor and College Tutor within this College.

A graduate of the University of Malta, Mr Camilleri-Brennan received his postgraduate surgical training primarily in Dundee and Aberdeen. He was awarded a Travelling Fellowship by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow that enabled him to pursue further studies in colorectal surgery at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA. His research on rectal cancer led to a doctorate from the University of Dundee.

Mr Camilleri-Brennan performs all aspects of general and colorectal surgery, in particular gall bladder and hernia surgery, surgery for colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease, laparoscopic surgery, and surgery for incontinence and pelvic floor disorders (including rectal prolapse and rectocoele) especially following childbirth.

He is a Principal Investigator in a number of research projects, has published articles in major surgical journals, co-authored chapters in postgraduate surgical textbooks, and has presented prize-winning papers at many national and international meetings.

A recognised postgraduate surgical trainer, he is an elected member of the Faculty of Surgical Trainers of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
