Existing sub-specialty roles within the department include inflammatory bowel disease, EUS, pancreatobiliary disease, hepatology, viral hepatitis, nutrition and upper GI pathology.

We have a fully equipped endoscopy department with 4 rooms (1 screening room) and an endoscopy team to include colorectal and upper GI surgeons as well as five nurse endoscopists.
