Supporting you through understanding your health.
Your digestive health guide.
Understanding gastrointestinal conditions is essential for maintaining your overall health and wellbeing. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge and support you need to navigate these common issues with confidence.
Cancer Screening & Surveillance
Syndrome (IBS)
Screening & monitoring for digestive cancers
Early detection is key to managing digestive cancers and pre-cancerous conditions. Regular screening and ongoing surveillance help identify problems at a stage when treatment is most effective.
Conditions we treat:
- Bowel cancer screening
- Colonic polyps
- Gastric cancer screening
- Oesophageal cancer screening
- Barrett’s oesophagus
- Gastro-oesophageal reflux disorder
- Pancreatic cancer surveillance
Gastrointestinal Disorders
Chronic Inflammation
Common digestive conditions
We provide care for a wide range of digestive disorders, from common conditions to more complex issues, helping patients manage their health and maintain quality of life.
Conditions we treat:
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
- Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Coeliac disease
Pancreatic Conditions
Managing Discomfort
Pancreatic health & conditions
Pancreatic conditions require careful monitoring and management. Early assessment allows for appropriate treatment and reduces the risk of complications.
Conditions we treat:
- Pancreatitis
- Pancreatic cysts
- Pancreatic cancer surveilance
Bile Duct & Gallbladder Conditions
Health Implications
Bile Duct & Gallbladder disorders
Disorders of the bile ducts and gallbladder can impact digestive health. Timely evaluation and intervention ensure the best outcomes and symptom management.
Conditions we treat:
- Choledocholithiasis (bile duct stones)
- Bile duct lesions or Cholangiocarcinoma
Common symptoms and history.
- PR bleeding (urgent)
- Melaena (urgent)

Yes, symptoms can be a sign of something occurring in your gastrointestinal tract. I would highly recommend you coming to see me.
The national bowel cancer screening test is a tool used to attempt to pick up microscopic bleeding in your stools. If your test is positive, it has picked up traces of blood which may indicate a source of bleeding. Please arrange for a direct colonoscopy as soon as possible via our direct access form (link) or see me urgently for a consultation.
There are a variety of conditions. Although bloating and gas is usually a benign symptom, I would suggest a formal consultation to assess for other symptoms to assist with a diagnosis.
Pancreatic cysts are benign fluid filled growths in the pancreas. Depending on their type, they can grow and transform into pre-malignant cysts and/or have the risk of developing into pancreatic cancer. We have surveillance strategies to help prevent this.
Colonic polyps are small growths on the inner lining of the large intestine. Most are harmless, but some can develop into bowel cancer over time. They are usually removed during a colonoscopy to keep your bowel healthy and reduce future risk.
Low iron stores can sometimes be a sign of ongoing blood loss from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This may occur from conditions such as stomach ulcers, polyps, inflammation, tumors/cancers or even small amounts of bleeding from the bowel that are not visible. Because iron deficiency can be an early indicator of hidden GI bleeding, further investigation with procedures like a gastroscopy or colonoscopy is often recommended to identify the underlying cause.
