About

Professor Adam Frampton is a Consultant in General and Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary (HPB) Surgery in Guildford (Nuffield Hospital) and London (Cromwell Hospital). His NHS base is at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust.

He is skilled in treating complex gallstone disease (cholecystectomy), and performing groin and abdominal wall hernia repair, and specialises in laparoscopic, liver and pancreatic surgery. He has a specialist interest in investigating and treating all benign and cancerous disorders of the liver, pancreas and biliary-tract.

After qualifying from Imperial College London in 2003, he went on to gain an MSc in General Surgical Practice from the University of Kent in 2011, before returning to Imperial College London, where he was awarded a PhD in 2014 for his work on complex gene interactions in pancreatic cancer.

He underwent basic and higher surgical training in London and Surrey, and became a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2018. He advanced his surgical skills training in laparoscopic / robotic HPB surgery at the Hammersmith and Royal Marsden Hospitals, and in liver transplantation at the Royal-Free Hospital, London. During his training he also undertook several international observerships to HPB units in both the USA (Johns Hopkins; University of Louisville) and Europe (Heidelberg, Germany; AMC, Amsterdam) to gain further experience in his field.

Mr Frampton is extremely passionate about research, and aims to translate new discoveries directly into improved patient care. He is one of the most knowledgeable specialists in his field and has won numerous awards for his research including the ASGBI Moynihan prize, the Sir James Fraser Travelling Fellowship and the Hunterian Professorship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

He currently serves as the Vice Chancellor's Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Surgical Oncology at University of Surrey where he leads a laboratory group and currently supervises BSc, MD(Res) and PhD students.

His current research includes investigating the molecular aspects of pancreatic, liver and biliary-tract cancers, including the development of clinically useful biomarkers and targeted anti-cancer treatments; understanding the tumour microenvironment and microbiome; and deciphering mechanisms of metastasis (cancer spread), topics on which he regularly publishes his findings in peer-reviewed journals. Indeed, he has published >120 research articles and has presented his findings both nationally and internationally.

Mr Frampton's research is at the "cutting-edge" and consequently he offers a highly analytical and evidence-based approach for his patients.

Very happy with the care provided by Professor Frampton. He clearly explained all the pros and cons of the surgery prior, he carried out the surgery successfully, and followed up several times to ensure all was well. Communication was easy and fast via his helpful secretary.

Professor Frampton removed my gallbladder and I have no hesitation in recommending him based on my experience under his care. I felt informed, supported and well cared for throughout the whole procedure by both Prof Frampton and Sarah Norcliffe his secretary. I really appreciated the fact the Prof Frampton called me at home several times to check how I was. The operation was a success and I am grateful that I had him in my corner.

Explanation

I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Adam Frampton based on my exceptional experience under his care. From my initial contact with his exemplary PA, Sarah Norcliffe, to the thorough explanations during my consultations, I felt reassured and well-informed every step of the way. Professor Frampton's expertise, compassionate care, and attention to detail made a significant difference in my treatment journey. Prior to my surgery, Professor Frampton demonstrated his commitment to my well-being by requesting additional imaging to ensure the most precise surgical strategy. This thorough approach minimized risks and maximized the likelihood of a successful outcome, which was especially comforting given my anxiety and additional medical concerns. During the complex laparoscopic procedure to remove my gallbladder and large benign cystic lesion on my liver, Professor Frampton's surgical mastery was evident as he navigated unexpected challenges with confidence and skill. His use of advanced techniques, such as "gluing" incision sites, minimized post-operative complications, leading to a smoother recovery process. I am incredibly grateful for the relief I've experienced under Professor Frampton's care. The alleviation of pain and improved mobility have been life-changing, and I am delighted with the result of my surgery. His genuine compassion and dedication to my well-being extended beyond the operating room, as he personally visited me in the hospital and took the time to reassure my husband, even checking in over the weekend by phone. Having access to a grade A London surgeon like Professor Frampton in Guildford has been invaluable, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of surgical expertise. He is truly an expert in his field, but it's his authenticity and genuine care for his patients that make him stand out. If I ever require further surgery in his field of expertise, Professor Frampton would be my first choice without hesitation. My heartfelt thanks extend to Professor Frampton, Dr. Kayur Patel, the outstanding theater and recovery teams, the dedicated nursing staff at Guildford Nuffield, and the cheerful porters who ensured my comfort throughout my journey. Sarah Norcliffe's behind-the-scenes efforts were also instrumental in making my experience truly exceptional. With Professor Frampton and his team, you can trust that you're in the best hands for your surgical needs.

Explanation

I had my epigastric hernia repair done by Dr Adam Frampton recently. He is an excellent surgeon. From the first consultation itself he was extremely patient and explained the issue and procedure in detail. He also very promptly did follow consultations and checked upon me. The procedure went very smoothly at Nuffield Guildford Hospital and I recovered very quickly. The staff at the hospital were also very caring and the hospital was very clean. His assistant Sarah as well is very patient, prompt and helpful. I was extremely nervous about the procedure before meeting Dr. Adam Frampton. But after the first consultation itself I felt relaxed and confident. Thanks to Dr. Adam Frampton, he is an excellent surgeon. I am extremely grateful that I found such an amazing, expert and efficient surgeon. Thank you so much once again Doctor.

Dr Frampton is absolutely amazing. The journey from meeting him for the first consultation to the surgery and then to the follow up was faultless. The diagnosis and then the surgery was carried out professionally, expeditiously and with care. The post-op care was thorough and when I was at home after the surgery, Dr Frampton contacted me over the phone few times to ask me how I was recovering. I thoroughly recommend Dr Frampton.
