Leading Gastroenterology Expertise in East Sussex

Our gastroenterology consultants bring extensive experience in diagnosing and managing digestive diseases. Each consultant has completed advanced specialist training and remains up to date with the latest advancements in endoscopy, bowel screening, and gastrointestinal treatments.

Working alongside skilled endoscopy nurses, dietitians, and clinical support staff, our team provides coordinated, evidence-based care to ensure you receive the best possible outcome.

At our modern private hospital in Hastings, we use high-definition endoscopy and capsule endoscopy for accurate diagnosis and early detection of digestive conditions. We use minimally invasive procedures wherever possible — meaning less discomfort, quicker recovery, and a faster return to normal life.

Gastroenterology Investigations and Treatments We Offer

At Sussex Premier Health, we offer a full range of gastrointestinal investigations and treatments. Below are some of the most common procedures performed by our specialists:

Gastroscopy (Upper Endoscopy)

A gastroscopy allows your consultant to examine your oesophagus, stomach, and upper small intestine using a thin, flexible camera. It helps diagnose conditions such as acid reflux (GORD), ulcers, and swallowing difficulties. The procedure is quick, safe, and typically performed as a day case.

Colonoscopy

A colonoscopy enables your specialist to view the lining of your large intestine and rectum. It is used to detect bowel inflammation, polyps, and early signs of bowel cancer. We use the latest imaging technology to ensure accuracy and patient comfort. Most patients go home the same day.

Flexible Sigmoidoscopy

A flexible sigmoidoscopy examines the lower part of your bowel and is often recommended for symptoms such as rectal bleeding, persistent diarrhoea, or changes in bowel habits. It’s a short, well-tolerated test that can provide valuable insight into your digestive health.

Polyp Removal

If polyps are found during a colonoscopy, they can often be removed during the same procedure — reducing your future risk of developing bowel cancer.

Capsule Endoscopy

For conditions affecting the small intestine, our specialists may recommend capsule endoscopy. You’ll swallow a tiny camera capsule that captures detailed images of your digestive tract as it passes through, helping identify bleeding, inflammation, or other abnormalities.

Conditions Our Gastroenterologists Treat

Our consultants diagnose and manage a wide range of digestive and liver conditions, including:

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
    Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
  • Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GORD)
  • Coeliac disease and gluten intolerance
  • Liver and pancreatic disorders
  • Bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain
  • Indigestion, nausea, and swallowing difficulties
