Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology is the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of your digestive system.

About gastroenterology

Our gastroenterology team specialises in treating gastrointestinal (stomach and intestines) and hepatological (liver, gallbladder and pancreas) disorders.

We carry out all diagnostic tests onsite, with a quick turnaround of results.

Digestive system conditions are often complex, and our gastroenterologist consultants work as part of multidisciplinary teams to provide a holistic approach to your care.

We also offer a rapid access bowel care diagnostic pathway, which enables patients to see a consultant, undergo the necessary tests and receive a diagnosis in the shortest possible time.
