Dr Cameron Martin, Consultant Gynaecologist at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh teaching hospital.
I am the lead Cancer Consultant for the South East Scotland region. I am the consultant responsible for managing the network and producing audit data and quality control.
I am committed to patient care and have focused my clinical skills on the development of keyhole operative gynaecological procedures. Consultant colleagues nationally refer complicated patients to my clinics. As a gynaecological oncologist, with higher specialist surgical training, I operate on the most difficult surgical cancer cases which also allows me a consistent, precise surgical service to my patients with benign disease such as endometriosis and heavy periods.
As well as his highly successful career in cancer surgery, I am responsible for the establishment of Edinburgh as an accredited Endometriosis Treatment Center. I work closely with other consultant colleagues and patient groups together with Government Policy Makers to try to establish a National Clinical Network to improve standards and consistency of treatment.
After graduating 1992 and achieving an MB ChB and BMed Biol with honours, I was awarded a prestigious Medical Research Council Fellowship and gained an MD (Doctor of Medicine) in reproductive medicine. I went on to receive a commendation in my Membership to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. During a sub-specialty training programme I achieved subspecialist status in gynaecological cancer surgery. I became a Fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 2013.
