The purpose of OneWelbeck Digestive Health is to provide seamless, excellent specialist care in a way that emphasises health, prevention and wellbeing, as well as treating digestive diseases”.

Formerly at the Royal London Hospital Barts Health NHS Trust where Dr Lisa Das had the privilege to be the UK’s first Community Gastroenterology Consultant. She trained at Guy’s Hospital Medical School, London before completing her medical residency in Boston, USA. Subsequently she completed subspecialist training in gastroenterology at Columbia University, New York in 1997 and currently holds both Board Certification in Gastroenterology (USA) and full accreditation on the UK General Medical Council’s Specialist Register in Gastroenterology.

When Dr Das returned home to London in 2007, she became familiar with the gastroenterology landscape in the UK and quickly noted that outpatient centres would be beneficial for service provision. She became a consultant at the Royal London Hospital in 2009, and since then has been involved in improving service provision and access, as well as developing straight to test pathways to reduce the time from referral to treatment.

She focuses on providing clinically excellent care with a kind, friendly approach for both men and women. She strongly believes that medicine requires a very personal approach, especially when related to bowel and gut problems. She welcomes enquiries from clients specifically seeking a female gastroenterologist, allowing for a focussed emphasis on women’s health.

“When I returned to the UK, my main aspiration was to develop an outpatient endoscopy/gastroenterology facility. I had experience in setting up an ambulatory centre in the USA which was the most professionally stimulating venture I have undertaken”.
