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.

Prof. Adam Frampton provides professional, friendly, clear, reassuring, and caring patient interactions. Patients highlight his expertise for gallbladder removal, various hernia repairs, and complex liver surgeries such as Whipple procedures. His detailed explanations, effective communication, and thorough pre-operative and post-operative care garner praise, resulting in successful operations and quick recoveries with significant patient reassurance. The most common surgical interventions address gallbladder conditions and hernia repairs, using laparoscopic key-hole techniques.
I cannot recommend Professor Frampton highly enough. He is an exceptional consultant, clearly highly skilled and knowledgeable in his field, but what really sets him apart is his warm, friendly and genuinely supportive approach. From the initial consultation through to surgery and post-operative care, he has been professional, attentive and reassuring. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, answer questions and provide thoughtful, practical advice throughout recovery. As someone who can experience anxiety around medical procedures, I particularly appreciated his patience, understanding and ability to put me at ease without ever dismissing my concerns. An outstanding surgeon and a genuinely lovely person. I am extremely grateful for the excellent care I received and would wholeheartedly recommend him.
Professor Frampton has looked after me exceptionally well. He is professional, reassuring and thorough in his approach. His kindness, interest in me as his patient and his experience shine through. I first saw him having been an emergency in patient in hospital for a gallbladder infection, that developed into sepsis. I left hospital with a drain for my gallbladder and that is when I went to see Professor Frampton. He explained extremely clearly the next steps towards an operation to remove my gallbladder. He answered all my questions, carefully, clearly and thoroughly and even drew me a diagram to show me the procedure he would undertake. The operation I know was complex and I could not have been more reassured by the explanation of how the operation went. The post-op care was second to none and Professor Frampton kept in touch during my two night stay in hospital. The post-op care was carefully explained to me and the final result has been excellent. I am now recovering well and do not think I could have had better care or reassurance during this difficult time. Thank you so much. Stephen C
I cannot recommend Dr Adam Frampton highly enough. I found him through Bupa after looking for some of the best-reviewed hernia surgeons, and he certainly did not disappoint. From the outset, Dr Frampton was incredibly informative, helpful and responsive. He was able to see me quickly and, within just two weeks of the hernia being identified on my scan, the surgery had been completed. Throughout the whole process, communication was excellent and I always felt well informed and reassured. What particularly stood out was how willing Dr Frampton was to go above and beyond. He helped me complete an insurance form for an ultramarathon I had to miss because of the surgery, and he personally called me the day after the operation to check how I was recovering. These extra touches made a real difference and showed how much he genuinely cares about his patients. The surgery itself went extremely well. The repair is very tidy, I was up and walking the following day and, after following the appropriate recovery advice, I was able to return to running after just four weeks. I am extremely pleased with the result. I was also very impressed with Cromwell Hospital. Everything on the day was calm and well organised, and I felt remarkably stress-free going into surgery. Having a suite room made my stay particularly comfortable and the overall standard of care was excellent. Dr Frampton did a fantastic job from start to finish. His expertise, communication and willingness to go the extra mile really stood out. If I were recommending a surgeon to someone needing an inguinal hernia repair, ...
Read moreAdam was nothing short of exceptional - from initial consultation through to post-care, Adam went above and beyond to ensure that I was looked after, clear on what needed to happen next and questions answered. It's not often you find a surgeon who checks in personally during after-care (twice) to make sure that all was OK. Honestly I couldn't recommend Adam more highly - if you're looking for a practitioner look no further - you'll be in good hands, and all round just a lovely guy too. Huge thank you Adam!
I had my operation a couple of weeks ago and have been doing well. Professor Frampton kept myself and my husband fully informed before and after the procedure. I think the work he does is great.
Professor Frampton performed an inguinal hernia procedure. From the initial consultation through to post-op follow-up his manner was excellent and his explanations very thorough. He was even kind enough to contact my wife directly to let her know when to come and collect me post-op and then called the next day to see how I was, to check progress and answer any questions. All in all a really good experience for something I'd rather not have!
I consulted Professor Frampton following a second gallstones attack earlier this year, and from then on it has been plain sailing. I trust Professor Frampton completely. My care has been first class, and when the time came to have my gall bladder removed this was done with minimum invasion; indeed I did not need to take any painkillers on discharge from hospital. Professor Frampton also followed up with a call at home to advise and check on my wellbeing. I would have no hesitation is recommending Professor Frampton.
I would highly recommend Professor Adam Frampton to anyone requiring surgery for a hernia. I was initially diagnosed with an inguinal hernia by another surgeon, but I decided to seek a second opinion from Professor Frampton. He quickly recognised that I had a relatively rare Spigelian hernia, which I found particularly impressive given the unusual nature of the condition. From my first consultation, I found Professor Frampton to be extremely professional, attentive and caring. He explained clearly why surgery was recommended and exactly what the procedure would involve. His knowledge and experience gave me great confidence and reassurance, particularly given the rarity of the hernia. Once the diagnosis had been established, Professor Frampton was very clear about the proposed treatment and was able to offer me a date for the procedure without delay. I felt fully informed throughout and had complete confidence in his approach. What particularly impressed me was the level of care he showed after the operation. He personally contacted my family to let them know that the procedure had gone well, and even more impressively, he called me the following day to check how I was recovering. I felt this demonstrated that his care for his patients extends well beyond the operating theatre. I am extremely pleased with the result of the surgery, which was a great success, and I am very grateful that I chose Professor Frampton as my surgeon. I would have no hesitation in recommending him. I would also like to mention the New Victoria Hospital, where my procedure took place. From pre-...

Prof. Frampton is a thoroughly professional consultant. I was confident that I was in safe capable hands for my Whipple operation.
