Miss Gupta was awarded her MD from the University of London for research into colorectal cancer. This followed a two year period of research at the Royal Free Hospital, London into the insulin-like growth factor system and how this has an effect on the development of colorectal cancer, as well as ways in which this effect may be attenuated. As a result of this work she has published papers and had presentations at many national and international meetings.

She was appointed a national trainer for the department of health national laparoscopic colorectal training programme and also teaches colonoscopy on a national basis. She holds an honorary senior lecturer post at Anglia Ruskin University and is a tutor for the MSc in minimally invasive and robotic surgery.

The ICENI Centre, Colchester Essex

The ICENI Centre has been at the forefront of laparoscopic training and research for over 20 years. The Centre was established to share the knowledge of the early pioneering laparoscopic work performed at Colchester Hospital and its work and reputation progressed steadily as increasing numbers of advanced laparoscopic surgeons were attracted to Colchester Hospital.

In 2011 the ICENI Centre took a significant step forward with a joint venture between Anglia Ruskin University and Colchester Hospital enabling the construction of a purpose built and state of the art facility to house the Centre. The joint venture has paved the way for the substantial involvement of a large number of surgeons operating within the region. This influx of expertise into the ICENI Centre has provided an exceptional breadth and depth of surgical talent with which to deliver the training, research and development activities of the Centre.
Professor Roger Motson, Director of the ICENI Centre

Professor Motson was one of the pioneers in Laparoscopic Surgery in the UK. He has been involved in all aspects of advanced Laparoscopic Surgery since 1989 and established one of the first training courses in 1992.

‘It is my pleasure to welcome you to the ICENI Centre. Our educational courses are continually developed to reflect the current position in each subject area and to provide delegates with a sound knowledge base.’

Dr. Jeremy Simon Stanton, Shoulder Elbow Hand Surgeon, Essex

Jeremy Simon Stanton, Orthopaedic Surgeon

I work as an orthopaedic upper limb surgeon with an elective practice involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. I perform many arthroscopic shoulder procedures (often in the younger population after sporting injuries) including shoulder stabilisations, SLAP and rotator cuff repairs, sub-acromial decompressions and capsular releases for frozen shoulders and also shoulder arthroplasty procedures for both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.

I also carry out both arthroscopic and open operations on the elbow, including elbow joint replacements for both arthritis and trauma in the elderly.

I treat many patients with radio-carpal and inter-carpal arthritis in the wrist and also the not uncommon problem  of patients with an adverse outcome after distal radial fracture.

I have an orthopaedic hand practice, treating Dupuytren's both open and percutaneously, basal thumb arthritis both by trapezial excision and joint replacement, interphalangeal and metacarpo-phalangeal arthritis with joint replacements, and the smaller conditions such as carpal tunnel decompression, trigger finger and deQuervain's release.

I work closely with very experienced anaesthetists such that the majority of my upper limb surgical procedures can be carried out under regional anaesthetic, avoiding the side-effects of a general anaesthetic, a quicker post-operative recovery and hence faster discharge. The majority of my cases can go home the same day following surgery, having been admitted the morning of surgery avoiding the need to spend any nights in hospital.

I also have a general trauma practice and take part in a 1 in 8 on call rota with a weekly trauma list. I regularly carry out fixation of complex proximal and distal humeral fractures using the most up to date methods, and treat many complex distal radial fractures both in the acute and chronic (malunited) stage.

Although an upper limb surgeon, I am also experienced in the treatment of routine lower limb trauma, including hip fractures, femoral and tibial shaft fractures (by plate fixation, intramedullary nailing and external fixation), and ankle fractures.
