About Mr Andrew Tambyraja

Andrew graduated from the University of Nottingham in 1998. He came to Edinburgh in 2000 to train in Surgery. He spent two years as a Lecturer in Surgery at the University of Edinburgh and undertook clinical research that was awarded the MD degree with distinction. During his training, he was awarded the Edward B Dietrich Travelling Fellowship and the British Society of Endovascular Therapy Training Fellowship. These enabled him to spend time in Phoenix, Arizona and Leicester learning minimally invasive vascular surgery.

After completing training, he was appointed as a Consultant Surgeon to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. In 2014, he returned to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh as Consultant Surgeon and has been the Clinical Director for Vascular Surgery in Lothian since 2017. He is the Honorary Reader in Vascular Surgery at the University of Edinburgh and is the Chair of the UK Specialty Advisory Committee for Vascular Surgery and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Vascular Surgery Specialty Board. He sits on the Board of Governors of the American College of Surgeons.

He maintains an active interest in clinical and human factors research and sits on the Editorial Boards of the World Journal of Surgery and The Surgeon.
