About

Dr Postgate is a Consultant Gastroenterologist and General Physician. He lives in Highgate with his wife, a local GP, and three young boys. He trained at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ Hospital in London and graduated in 1999 with First Class Honours and in the top 1% of his year. He was awarded the Baldwin Prize for Clinical Medicine, the Bristowe Medal and Beaney Prize for Pathology, The War Memorial Clinical Exhibition, and The Wolfson Foundation scholarship for his BSc studies for which also received a First Class Honours degree.

Having completed the top junior house officer post at Guy’s and St. Thomas’, he undertook core medical training at Charing Cross and West Middlesex Hospitals followed by specialist training in gastroenterology and general medicine within the North West London region between 2003 and 2010. Four years were spent at the specialist St. Mark’s Hospital in Harrow, including three years of post-graduate research within the Wolfson Unit for Endoscopy for which he received a Doctorate of Medicine degree from Imperial College London in 2010.
