Mr Benjamin Stubbs is a highly experienced Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon with specialist expertise in minimally invasive surgery, bowel cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. He completed his medical degree at St Bartholomew’s and the Royal London Hospital Medical School before entering a surgical training rotation, during which he achieved his MRCS and CCBST qualifications. His early training included time at the Royal Marsden Hospital, where he developed a strong interest in the surgical management of cancer.

Following this, Mr Stubbs undertook a period of research at University College London, studying neo-angiogenesis — the development of new blood vessels within cancer cells. His work resulted in a Master’s degree in Surgical Sciences, awarded with distinction for his research into cancer and its environmental influences. He went on to complete higher surgical training in London, gaining Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons.

To further refine his subspecialist skills, Mr Stubbs completed a Fellowship at University College London Hospital, focusing on laparoscopic surgery and the surgical management of bowel cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. He then joined Dorset County Hospital as a Consultant, where he has since taken on key leadership roles including Clinical Director of Surgery. He also serves as College Tutor to the Royal College of Surgeons of England and represents Dorset County Hospital on the Wessex Deanery Specialist Advisory Committee for higher surgical training.

In his private practice at The Winterbourne Hospital in Dorchester, Mr Stubbs provides expert consultation and treatment across a wide range of colorectal and general surgical conditions. His areas of expertise include bowel cancer screening and surgery, colonoscopy, inflammatory bowel disease, haemorrhoid management, anal fistula surgery, hernia repair, and abdominal surgery for Crohn’s disease, among others.
