Mr Paul Wilkerson

MR PAUL WILKERSON MBBS, BSc, FRCS I have been a consultant upper GI surgeon in Bristol since 2015, specialising in minimally invasive and endoscopic treatments of oesophageal and gastric disease. I work in the regional center for oesophagogastric cancer and am one of two consultants delivering the full range of endoscopic treatments for Barrett’s oesophagus in this cancer network. As well as managing oesophagogastric cancer, I am also skilled in the management of hernias and benign upper gastrointestinal disease, including reflux and achalasia. My interest in Upper GI physiology led the the development of a city-wide multidisciplinary unit meeting, the first of its kind in the city, in which consultant from other hospitals can discuss cases with our team, and here we try to standardise the care of patients with benign upper GI disease across the region. I have trained in robot-assisted surgery and deliver this service at University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust. I am Chair of the Somerset, Wiltshire, Avon and Gloucestershire Cancer Services, Oesophago-Gastric Cancer Clinical Advisory Group, and hold a number of leadership roles in the Division of Surgery at University Hospitals Bristol & Weston NHS Foundation trust.
