His NHS practice is based at Forth Valley Royal Hospital where he is the lead clinician for Upper GI cancer. Mr Shearer has a strong interest in teaching and is 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.
