Mr Scott McCain

I trained in Northern Ireland and underwent fellowship training in Concord Repatriation Hospital in Sydney, Australia.  My NHS practice is in the Ulster Hospital Dundonald, and private practice in the Ulster Independent Clinic and Kingsbridge Private Hospital.  My clinical interests include the diagnosis of cancer of the oesophagus and stomach and the management of complex benign upper gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary conditions. I offer weight loss surgery to eligible patients with appropriate work up consistent with National guidelines. My current research interests include patient informed consent and doctor's wellbeing.
