He specialises clinically in colonoscopy and large polyp removal, as well as working as London Vanguard’s Early Diagnosis Lead. He is currently collaborating to deliver a large trial of FIT in symptomatic patients (to assist early diagnosis of colorectal cancer), establishing a local endoscopy quality collaborative to improve efficiency within endoscopy departments, and a trial of colon capsule. He is also working to use Artificial Intelligence in polyp recognition and characterisation. He is trained in the innovative technology of full thickness resection in the colon, and is a recognised expert in the management of large polyps.
