Internationally trained in advanced minimally invasive techniques, Mr Oliphant is recognised as one of Scotland’s leading figures in robotic colorectal and general surgery. Having refined his skills in Vienna, Strasbourg, Santander, London and Copenhagen, he has pioneered the introduction of complex robotic procedures that significantly enhance precision, reduce post-operative discomfort and accelerate recovery times. Alongside his surgical expertise, he runs a high-volume colonoscopy and endoscopy practice and is fully JAG-certified.

Mr Oliphant combines extensive training with a strong academic and leadership background. After completing higher surgical training in the West of Scotland, he undertook advanced fellowships at world-renowned centres including St Mark’s Hospital in London and Concord Repatriation Hospital in Sydney.
