About
Giuseppe Preziosi is a Senior Clinical Lecturer in Health Sciences at Kent and Medway Medical School and a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon at East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. His clinical practice focuses on colorectal surgery, with a particular interest in the treatment of bowel cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Giuseppe has been actively involved in clinical research at both national and international levels, including leading and contributing to multicentre studies and randomised controlled trials. He has a strong interest in developing collaborative research networks across Kent, Medway, and Sussex, and in creating opportunities for students and trainees to engage in meaningful research projects.
Research interests
His academic background is in gastrointestinal physiology and neurogenic bowel dysfunction. His current research aims to advance understanding of the physiological response to surgery and to translate this knowledge into strategies that improve patient outcomes. As well as exploring how digital health can improve patient’s outcomes and advancing care in inflammatory bowel disease.
Teaching
Giuseppe is an Undergraduate Clinical Supervisor for Surgery at Kent and Medway Medical School, contributing to both core surgical teaching and the Surgery component of the Transition to Practice (F0) placement.
Supervision
Giuseppe Preziosi has extensive experience in undergraduate and postgraduate clinical supervision within surgery. He has supervised students and trainees undertaking research and quality improvement projects.
Professional
Giuseppe Preziosi’s research spans gastrointestinal physiology, neurogenic bowel dysfunction, and more recently surgical innovation and population-level surgical practice. His recent work includes “Adoption and expansion of robotic surgery across General Surgery in the United Kingdom: a 10-year procedure-specific analysis (2015–2024)”, which provides one of the first national analyses of the growth, distribution, and procedural trends of robotic-assisted surgery across the UK. He has also contributed to further work examining national adoption patterns, service distribution, and specialty-specific trends in robotic-assisted surgery across the United Kingdom. Earlier in his academic career, he contributed to seminal work in neurogenic bowel dysfunction, including “Gut dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis and the role of spinal cord involvement in the disease”, which demonstrated the central role of spinal cord pathology in bowel dysfunction in patients with multiple sclerosis.
