Consultant Physician and Gastroenterologist at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

I trained at Oxford University between 1978 and 1981, and then at St Thomas' Hospital in London from 1981 to 1984.

Following house jobs, I worked as a junior doctor and medical registrar at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford.

I spent four years from 1990 to 1994 in Oxford as a Medical Research Council Research Fellow studying the role of adhesion molecules in the gastrointestinal tract with a special interest in inflammatory bowel diseases.

From 1994 to 1996 I worked at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, Liverpool, as a lecturer and senior Registrar in Medicine and Gastroenterology.

I was appointed as Consultant Physician and London Gastroenterologist at University College London Hospitals in July 1996.

As a London gastroenterologist, I have a full time NHS consultant contract at University College Hospital, where in addition to providing a service in general and specialist gastroenterology, I practice general medicine and am actively involved in the provision of acute care cover.

My private practice is based at the Wellington Hospital, London, NW8, where there is a well equipped Endoscopy Suite and Consulting Rooms with experienced support staff. I also have admitting rights for private patients at University College Hospital ('Harley Street on 15') and King Edward VII Hospital, London, W1.

The purpose of this website is to inform visitors about my clinical practice as a London gastroenterologist and to provide links to relevant sources of information relating to gastrointestinal disorders.
