Gastroenterology

Our gastroenterology department provides a comprehensive service for the diagnosis and care of patients with a wide range of gastroenterological conditions.

These include

• inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
• irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• functional dyspepsia (digestion problems)
• coeliac disease (inflammatory reaction to grain proteins like gluten)
• peptic ulcer disease (PUD)
• gastro-oesophageal reflux (acid coming from the stomach to oesophagus)
• gastrointestinal bleeding
• nutritional problems

The Trust has recently opened a new high-tech endoscopy facility which offers diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopies, bronchoscopies and gastroscopies, as well as endoscopic ultrasounds.
