Private Paediatric Gastroenterology in London

What is Paediatric Gastroenterology?

Paediatric gastroenterology is a medical specialty focusing on the diagnosis, treatment and management of digestive problems.

Anywhere in your child's digestive system can be affected; from their oesophagus and stomach to the small intestine, large intestine (colon), rectum, liver, gallbladder and pancreas. With a multidisciplinary team of paediatric gastroenterologists and paediatric surgeons and specialised diagnostic imaging and nutritional services, we're able to provide the comprehensive care needed to manage a wide range of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Should your child need to be admitted for treatment this will take place at our hospital for Women and Children, The Portland Hospital.
