Gastroenterology Services

St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital has a full gastroentrology and endoscopy service, with its own Endoscopy Clinic on site. The clinic is furnished with the latest technology and provides the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures for both gastroenterological and respiratory conditions. We have a team of expert gastroenterologists, respiratory physicians and colorectal surgeons working with highly skilled nursing staff to provide a comprehensive range of high-end procedures.

Crucially, as an integrated hospital, if a patient needs further specialist input, they can be referred to other specialists and services on site, rather than having to be transferred to another facility. Gastroenterologists working at St Andrew’s have subspecialty expertise in interventional endoscopy, inflammatory bowel disease, hepatology, pancreatic and biliary disease, bowel cancer screening and advanced colonoscopy. Colonoscopy, gastroscopy, ERCP, EUS, capsule endoscopy, balloon assisted enteroscopy are performed as day procedures. Conditions managed include GORD, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, coeliac disease, iron deficiency anaemia, diseases of the pancreas and biliary tract, hepatitis and colorectal cancer screening and surveillance.
