Mr Stuart James Fergusson BSc (Med Sci), MBChB, ChM, MRCS, DRCOG, PGCAP, FHEA

Specialty Registrar in General Surgery and Clinical Leadership Fellow at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow 2016-17

Mr Stuart J Fergusson graduated MBChB from the University of Glasgow in 2006.  He has subsequently trained in general surgery in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and from 2016-17 worked at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow as a Clinical Leadership Fellow. 

He was a Clinical Teaching Fellow at the University of Edinburgh from 2012-14 and maintains interests in medical education, global health needs and clinical/educational research. Stuart’s interests in global health were fuelled by a 2005 medical elective in Malawi. 

Since this time he has actively contributed to surgical training in Rwanda and to a multinational surgical research collaborative which has involved over 60 countries (see www.globalsurg.org). 

In the future, Stuart hopes to combine his global health interests with a career as a surgeon in one of Scotland’s remote and rural hospitals.
