Mr Nigel Day

Mr Nigel Day is a Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon who specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of abdominal, bowel and peri-anal conditions and symptoms. He performs diagnostic and therapeutic colonoscopy, perianal operations and minimally invasive keyhole surgery.

He graduated from the University of Bristol in 2009 before undertaking his surgical training in London. He was awarded the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in 2018 and completed his MD research degree at Imperial College and the Royal Marsden Hospital. Following his completion of training, he was awarded the prestigious Royal College of Surgeons Fellowship in Advanced Peritoneal Malignancy, spending a year training at the world-renowned Christie Hospital in Manchester.

He has been in a senior NHS post since 2022, when he was appointed as Consultant Colorectal and General Surgeon at Epsom and St Helier NHS Trust. He currently serves as Robotic Surgery lead, having been instrumental in introducing this minimally invasive approach into the Trust in 2026.

Changes in bowel habit, pain and rectal bleeding can be concerning and debilitating. Through the systematic investigation and management of these conditions, Mr Day excels at putting the patient at the centre of the consultation process, taking the time to explain clearly and accurately how best to proceed with management options.

Outside of work, Mr Day has a young family and coaches football and rugby at junior level. He himself has significant sporting interests and is an avid golfer, a keen skier and will turn his hand to most sporting pursuits if given the opportunity.
