About
Dr Ellis has been a consultant gastroenterologist and hepatologist at Oxford University Hospitals since 1998. Prior to this, he undertook postgraduate training at the Institute of Liver Studies, Kings College Hospital London, and held an honorary Senior registrar post at Saint Mark's Hospital London.
His practice spans both luminal gastroenterology and hepatology. He sees a broad range of patients for symptoms of indigestion, abdominal pain, and change in bowel habits. He also has a broad referral base for patients with abnormal liver function or liver imaging. He provides a holistic patient-centred service. He undertakes diagnostic/therapeutic gastroscopy and colonoscopy. He was the lead colonoscopist for the Oxford Bowel Cancer Screening Program from inception until 2023.
He has a major interest in education. He was in charge of UK gastroenterology training for six years, following a six-year stint as program director of the Oxford Gastroenterology training program. He currently represents the UK on the European Board of Gastroenterology and Hepatology and sits on the standard-setting committee for higher examinations in gastroenterology.
