Consultant Gastroenterologist

If you’re experiencing persistent digestive symptoms or changes in your bowel habits, it’s important to investigate the cause early. At iGP, we offer private GP consultations that provide the first step towards identifying and managing gastrointestinal concerns. We can arrange initial assessments and, where appropriate, refer you for further diagnostic procedures such as gastroscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, or colonoscopy with trusted specialists.

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and its related conditions. This includes the stomach, intestines, oesophagus, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and bowel.

Common symptoms that may indicate a digestive issue include:

• Ongoing abdominal pain or discomfort
• Indigestion, reflux, or heartburn
• Changes in bowel habits such as diarrhoea or constipation
• Blood in the stool or unexplained anaemia
• Bloating, nausea, or vomiting
• Unexplained weight loss or fatigue

How iGP Can Help?

At iGP, we offer prompt and comprehensive GP assessments for a wide range of digestive health concerns. You do not need a referral to book a consultation with us, and we provide access to weekend appointments for added flexibility.

Our doctors will:

• Take a full medical history and review your symptoms
• Perform relevant physical examinations
• Arrange initial investigations such as blood or stool tests, if required
• Refer you onwards for specialist diagnostics where clinically appropriate

These may include:

• Gastroscopy (Upper GI Endoscopy) – examining the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum
• Flexible Sigmoidoscopy – viewing the lower part of the large intestine
• Colonoscopy – assessing the full colon for inflammation, bleeding, or abnormal growths

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
• Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD)
• Barrett’s Oesophagus
• Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (IBD)
