Mr Mike Williamson

I qualified from Cardiff Medical School 1987 and undertook early surgical training in and near Cardiff before moving to The General Infirmary at Leeds to undertake research for my MD thesis. I then stayed on to complete my senior surgical training on the West Yorkshire rotation but also including a training fellowship year in Sydney, Australia. I was appointed as consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon to the Royal United Hospital Bath in August 1999. My main aim is to explain the medical condition and its treatment in a clear way that patients can understand including the risks of the surgical treatment compared to the benefits. I am very experienced and through that experience feel confident in letting patients decide if surgery is the right option, especially if more conservative approaches are available. I am often told by patients that after talking to me they fully understand their condition and it's management options for the first time.
