I am a general gastroenterologist with specific interests in endoscopy and inflammatory bowel disease. I am experienced in the diagnosis and management of all common gastrointestinal (GI) disorders including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastro-oesophageal reflux, coeliac and Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis and all aspects of diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower GI endoscopy. I have been a consultant gastroenterologist in Leicester since 1998. I specialise in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy and am an advanced colonoscopist & examiner for the National Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. I established the Leicester Endoscopy Training Centre in 2004 and teach basic and advanced endoscopic skills to trainees and consultants from around the UK. I recently established Leicester as an accreditation centre and examine endoscopists on behalf of the National Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. I am lead clinician for inflammatory bowel disease. I have a major interest in diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy regularly performing large numbers of procedures every year.
