Many medical conditions affect the gastrointestinal or digestive system. Some are treatable, while medication and lifestyle changes can help manage others. The information below will help you better understand the treatments and procedures offered by LivingCare across our locations in Leeds and Sheffield.
Gastroenterology is the medical field that diagnoses, treats, and manages digestive system conditions: a network of organs that includes the oesophagus, stomach, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and intestines.
The system processes food, absorbs nutrients, and eliminates waste, making it fundamental to your wellbeing.
From routine screening to complex investigations, we deliver expert care across our Leeds and Sheffield locations, ensuring swift access to answers and treatment for your digestive health concerns. Our gastroenterologists have extensive training in internal medicine and digestive system disorders. They combine medical expertise with advanced diagnostic techniques to detect conditions ranging from everyday issues like acid reflux and irritable bowel syndrome to serious diseases such as inflammatory bowel conditions and cancers of the digestive tract.
LivingCare's specialist gastroenterology team combines extensive experience with cutting-edge technology, including the advanced Olympus EVIS X1 endoscopy system, to deliver accurate diagnoses and effective treatments.
Our investment in cutting-edge technology, including high-definition imaging systems and the latest endoscopic equipment, means you benefit from:
Early detection is important. Bowel cancer, for instance, is the third most common cancer in the UK; early diagnosis means that one-year survival rates can be as high as 98%.
We offer same-day appointments and rapid access to procedures. You don't have to wait weeks for answers concerning symptoms.
Your journey with LivingCare's gastroenterology team begins with a comprehensive consultation where we'll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and concerns. If you need a referral for private medical insurance, our private GP service can provide this efficiently – there's no need to return to your NHS GP for paperwork that could delay your care.
