Dr Alan Watson
I am a highly respected senior Consultant Gastroenterologist, specialising in the diagnosis and management of intestinal and liver conditions. I have advanced skills in endoscopy and colonoscopy and am an accredited bowel cancer screening expert.
I have practiced as an NHS Consultant at Barts Health in London for over 15 years and have developed a thriving private practice over the last 12 years, offering expert care to a wide range of patients.
I graduated with distinction from Cambridge University and completed my trained in leading teaching hospitals in the UK, Europe and the USA.
With extensive experience in performing endoscopic examinations, I can help ensure minimal discomfort for patients, using advanced techniques to resolve issues that once required surgery. My expertise in gastroscopy and colonoscopy allow me to provide highly effective, non-invasive treatments and excellent results for my patients. I am a specialist in endoscopy and colonoscopy, with specialist accreditation as part of the National Bowel Cancer Screening Programme.
My commitment to medical excellence extends beyond clinical practice. I also contributed to groundbreaking research during his PhD Fellowship at Cancer Research UK, publishing in prestigious medical journals such as *Nature Medicine* and *Nature*. I continue to be active in research, teaching and clinical audit.
On a more personal note, I enjoy taking part in sports and music At Cambridge University, I competed in and won the prestigious Boat Race. I have also raised significant funds for charity by rowing across the Atlantic Ocean and ultra-marathon running. My dedication to others, both in and out of the medical field, I hope reflects my genuine commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those around me.
The combination of professional expertise, compassionate care, and personal determination means I always go the extra mile for my patients.
