Qualifications
Training and Experience
Dr Cameron graduated with an MB ChB from the University of Glasgow Medical School in 2001. Driven by a deep interest in medical science, he voluntarily extended his undergraduate training to pursue specialist knowledge in Immunology, earning a BSc with Honours in 1998. During this time, he completed a prestigious internship at the internationally renowned Thomas E. Starzl Transplant Institute in Pittsburgh, USA.
His early medical career was based in Glasgow, where he secured a place on the highly competitive training programme within NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. He achieved Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP UK) in 2004, passing all parts on the first attempt. It was during these formative years that Dr Cameron developed a lasting passion for respiratory medicine, later continuing his training in Edinburgh.
In 2007, Dr Cameron entered higher specialist training in Respiratory Medicine. His commitment to academic research led to his appointment as Clinical Research Fellow (2009) in the Asthma and COPD Research Unit under Professor Neil C. Thomson, a global leader in airways disease. He completed his PhD in 2013, publishing in high-impact journals and presenting his research at international conferences. In parallel, he became one of the first doctors to sit—and pass—the newly introduced Specialist Certificate in Respiratory Medicine (2010).
In 2014, Dr Cameron was appointed Consultant Physician in Respiratory and General Internal Medicine at Forth Valley Royal Hospital. He considers it a privilege to serve the Forth Valley community. Upon becoming a consultant, he was also elected Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (FRCP Glasg).
Beyond clinical practice, Dr Cameron has played a vital role in medical education and assessment, serving as an examiner for the Royal Colleges across all levels. He has continued his research as a Local Principal Investigator in multiple national and international multi-centre studies. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he contributed to critical vaccine response research, leading to a study published in The Lancet on healthcare worker immunity.
In recognition of his academic contributions, Dr Cameron was appointed Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow in 2020, and subsequently elevated to Honorary Clinical Associate Professor in 2024.
Since 2016, Dr Cameron has also offered private consultations at King’s Park Hospital (Stirling) and Spire Shawfair Park Hospital (Edinburgh). Alongside his respiratory practice, he provides specialist assessments in allergy and immunology, including investigations and targeted biologic (monoclonal antibody) therapies.
Committed to lifelong learning, Dr Cameron expanded his expertise with a Certificate in Health Economics and Policy from the London School of Economics and Political Science (2022) and a Certificate in Healthcare Leadership from Stanford University (2023).
In 2023, he was appointed Chair of the Council of Healthcare Professionals at Asthma + Lung UK, reflecting his dedication to advocacy and voluntary service in respiratory health.
With over two decades of postgraduate experience, Dr Cameron offers expert care in respiratory disease, allergy, and general internal medicine.
Dr Cameron’s passion is lung health
Dr Cameron is highly skilled at chest-x-ray and chest CT interpretation.
Dr Cameron is accredited in chest ultrasound and regularly performs endoscopic examinations of the lungs (airways). He is also trained in endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), an advanced technique used to assess and biopsy lymph nodes and other structures within the central chest (mediastinum).
Dr Cameron is highly experienced in assessing immune function and the diagnosis and treatment of allergic asthma and allergies.
Since entering private practice, Dr Cameron has broadened his clinical scope to include assessments for food allergies. With a strong academic foundation in immunology, he has applied his expertise to the use of monoclonal antibody therapies in the management of severe hay fever and other allergic conditions. His in-depth understanding of the immunological pathways involved in allergic disease, gained through specialist study, has proven particularly valuable—especially during the rollout of the new COVID-19 vaccines, when immunological knowledge was critical. Dr Cameron regularly evaluates immune function and is trained in the diagnosis and management of immune deficiencies.
