I am a warm and empathetic doctor, highly skilled in endoscopy with a national reputation. I work in a top NHS London teaching hospital so my practice is busy and up to date.
Ed Seward trained in Edinburgh before moving to Liverpool and finally North East London, obtaining a consultant post at Barts Health NHS Trust. As Endoscopy Lead he developed a sub-specialist interest in therapeutic Endoscopy as well as pursuing a passion for service improvement and redesign, which culminated in his appointment as a National Clinical Advisor for Endoscopy. {{ label }}
More recently, he has been responsible for piloting a pathway to shorten diagnostic waits in colorectal cancer which was shortlisted for a prestigious BMJ award, and has been taken up nationally by Cancer Research UK.
Ed was appointed to UCLH in 2014 to deliver ‘Bowel Scope’ for the North central area of London – the national plan to provide screening for bowel cancer and polyps to all 55 year olds. He is also tasked with helping to deliver an interventional colonoscopy service, and to improve the colonoscopy teaching and research brief at UCLH. Alongside this, he also works as a Vanguard™ early diagnosis lead for colorectal cancer and is involved in a critical piece of research to introduce Faecal Immunochemical Testing (FIT) to primary care across North London and Essex to optimise the pathway for people with bowel symptoms.
He was appointed Director of Endoscopy at UCLH in 2019 and contributes towards research into use of Artificial Intelligence in endoscopy.
I have managed the endoscopy department’s response at UCLH, worked on COVID wards, helped get endoscopy back on its feet across North London, and authored the national guidelines to assist bowel cancer detection in the post-COVID era.
I have worked with Cancer Research UK and Bowel Cancer UK as a special advisor and have streamlined cancer pathways, with work that has been taken up nationally.
I have also been recommended for national awards and hosted international visits to demonstrate how to run a successful endoscopy department.
I have received nominations for both British Medical Journal and Health Services Journal awards.
My memberships include:
I teach on London Live annually, and the British Society of Gastroenterology endoscopy live. I have been invited to Scandinavia and Dubai to teach endoscopy.
My publications include:
