What is gastroenterology and hepatology?

Gastroenterology and hepatology is the study of the health of the digestive system and liver. Our specialists investigate, diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting the gut, bowel, liver, pancreas, and bile ducts.

Using advanced technology and fast-track diagnostics, we provide expert care with a strong focus on patient comfort and reassurance. This includes:

  • Endoscopic procedures such as gastroscopy, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy and polyp removal
  • Bowel cancer screening, surveillance and endoscopic therapy
  • Investigation and treatment of complex inflammatory bowel diseases, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
  • Management of liver, pancreas and biliary disorders, supported by specialist imaging and fibroscanning
  • Feeding tube placement (PEG - percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy - and PEJ Percutaneous Endoscopic Jejunostomy) and bowel stricture treatments
  • Comprehensive hepatology services including liver function tests, ultrasound, CT, MRI and cholangioscopy - a specialised endoscopic test to examine the bile ducts.

Symptoms we diagnose

Abdominal pain

If discomfort lasts or becomes severe, its best not to ignore it. Our specialists investigate the cause and provide targeted treatment to ease symptoms.

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding

We offer fast and accurate diagnosis and a quick path to treatment for patients suffering from GI bleeding (vomiting blood, black stools or rectal bleeding).

Acid reflux, indigestion and dysphagia

We help manage symptoms and reduce potential complications from problems with the oesophagus, such as indigestion, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) or discomfort from stomach acid.

Altered bowel habits

Changes in your bowel patterns such as constipation, diarrhoea, or even indigestion, can signal underlying issues. Early assessment helps restore comfort and detect any serious conditions.

Conditions we treat

Gallstones

These hardened deposits of cholesterol, bile or calcium can be very painful. We offer treatment to relieve your symptoms and prevent further complications.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

IBS can cause abdominal pain, bloating, and bowel changes. Our tailored strategies and personalised treatment plans can help relieve discomfort.

Liver disease

When your liver isn’t working at its best, it can affect your energy, digestion and general wellbeing. We’ll help identify the cause and support your recovery.

Pancreatic and bile duct cancers

Early detection is vital to achieve the best outcomes. We’ll help with prompt, state-of-the-art diagnostics, clear guidance and a personalised management plan.

Procedures we offer

Gastroscopy (OGD)

This camera test examines the oesophagus, stomach and upper small intestine to find causes of pain, reflux or other digestive problems you may be experiencing.

Double-Balloon Enteroscopy (DBE)

This specialist test gives us a close view of the small bowel, helping to diagnose unexplained bleeding, inflammation or other issues you may be experiencing.

Liver function assessments

A series of tests to guide diagnosis and help us monitor ongoing conditions and tailor treatment, ensuring your liver stays as healthy and effective as possible.
