He is a full time private consultant working across two Circle Health Group sites, Ross Hall Hospital in Glasgow and Kings Park Hospital in Stirling.
Previously he was a Consultant Surgeon in NHS Forth Valley for 16 years and Lead Clinician for Upper GI Cancer. Mr Shearer has a strong interest in teaching and was an Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow.
A graduate from the University of Glasgow in 1995, Mr Shearer embarked on postgraduate General Surgical training in the West of Scotland. A period of clinical research led to him obtaining a Medical Doctorate from the University of Glasgow in 2004 for his work on Barrett's oesophagus. His research has led to various national and international presentations and publications.
Mr Shearer obtained a travelling fellowship to the University of Pennsylvania, USA, specialising in weight loss surgery before spending 18 months at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia as a Surgical Fellow and University Lecturer.
Mr Shearer performs all aspects of general surgery including robotic surgery, minor ops, hernia surgery (open and laparoscopic), endoscopy and colonoscopy.
