Gastroenterology

There are many medical conditions that affect the gastrointestinal or digestive system, some of which are treatable, others which can be managed through medication and lifestyle..

Our Consultant Gastroenterologists provide expert assessment, diagnosis and treatment for a very wide variety of digestive conditions and symptoms. Your concerns will be addressed at your initial consultation.

You may require referral for imaging and scans, these include Ultrasound, CT and MR scans.

You may be referred for an endoscopy procedure.

Our service provides a range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures using specialized equipment to look inside the body, primarily through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The service is offered by multidisciplinary teams, including Consultants, nurses, and technicians, who work together to ensure the smooth delivery of high-quality care to patients.

Types of Endoscopy Procedures:

Gastroscopy: Used to examine the upper GI tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. This is commonly performed to investigate symptoms like heartburn, unexplained weight loss, or difficulty swallowing.

Colonoscopy: This procedure is used to inspect the large intestine (colon) and rectum. It is often recommended for colorectal cancer screening, particularly for those aged 60 and over, or for patients with unexplained bowel symptoms.

Sigmoidoscopy: A similar procedure to colonoscopy but focuses on the sigmoid colon and rectum.

Our Consultants have been chosen for their skill and expertise in a sub-specialty area.
