Professor Arulampalam gained his Medical Degree by the University of London following five years at St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical School, training at numerous London teaching hospitals. His Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England was awarded in 2003 after which he was awarded a travelling fellowship by the Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (ALSGBI).

With a focus on value-based healthcare, Professor Arulampalam is looking to triage patients through telephone consultations and video consultations so that he can ensure patients are on the correct pathway from an early stage and get their diagnosis accurately. This is good for the patient, the doctor, and is extremely time efficient.

The staff and facilities were all very positive. The procedure its self was very challenging and on a personal basis I felt the anesthetic was slow to take effect. Also the gas & air could have been applied much earlier.
