Background
Marianne Sampson qualified from the University of Cambridge Medical School in 1996. She undertook her higher surgical training from 2002-2009 in the North East Thames region, including Barts and the London NHS Trust, University College Hospital and Colchester hospital, during which time she did a fellowship at the National Cancer Centre, Tokyo as the recipient of the Cutlers Surgical Prize. She was appointed as a Consultant Upper Gastrointestinal surgeon at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust in 2009, since when she has been involved in developing the bariatric surgical services in Reading.
While this was initially limited to gastric band surgery, a wide spectrum of procedures is now offered to patients, including gastric bypass, banding, gastric balloons and sleeve gastrectomy. Marianne has developed an interest in revisional procedures and follow up programmes, for patients to maximise the benefit of their bariatric surgery.
She is an experienced endoscopist and endoscopic trainer.
Marianne sees private patients at Spire Dunedin Hospital, and private weight loss surgery patients at Berkshire Independent Hospital or Dunedin hospital.
