About

About The Capsule Clinic

The Capsule clinic was started by Dr Simon Campbell, an experienced Consultant Gastroenterologist. Among the team at the Capsule clinic are specialist nurse Joanne Hodgins of which Dr. Campbell has worked with for the last 14 years, and practice manager Sarah Campbell who has worked in the private sector for 14 years with Gastromedicalsolutions LLP and has extensive knowledge of endoscopy procedures and medical insurance related concerns.

The clinic provides capsule endoscopy, which consists of a small pill-sized camera that the patient swallows to assess the gastrointestinal tract. The camera then is able to send the images to a small recording device worn on the body. The information provided by the capsule camera helps in the diagnosis of of many diseases and abnormalities in the gastrointestinal tract, such as Barrett's oesophagus, Gastric Cancer, Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GORD), Stomach and Duodenal Ulcers, Crohn's Disease, Colon Cancer and Colonic Polyps. This method eliminates the need for intubation, sedation and radiation, as well as their associated risks.

There are three capsule procedures offered at the Capsule clinic, for conditions of the upper GI tract, Small Bowel and Colon. In addition to capsule endoscopy, the team at the Capsule clinic offer other non-invasive testing, including faecal calprotectin, qFIT10 faecal testing, coeliac antibody (TTG) testing and cytosponge testing.

The team of highly professional specialists can provide comprehensive care and advice to each patient. They all have a wealth of experience and knowledge of endoscopy procedures, medical insurance and exceptional patient care. The Capsule clinic is based at Hope Cottage, 5 Macclesfield Road, Prestbury, Macclesfield, Cheshire.

I recently had an exceptional experience at the Capsule Clinic for a colonoscopy via the Capsule Study. All of the team's professional and friendly warm approach made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. The procedure itself was conducted with precision from start to finish with an excellent step by step guidance and communication throughout and the attention to detail was truly commendable. The procedure itself was pain free, extremely easy and conducted in the comfort of my home. I was called back for the results within 48 hours after completing the Capsule study. I highly recommend the Capsule Clinic for their outstanding medical team, seamless procedure and exceptional service.

I approached the Capsule Clinic due to chronic GI issues (constipation & bloating). I wanted to check whether there was any physical reason for my symptoms and the capsule appealed more than a colonoscopy! From my initial email enquiry I cannot rate the team highly enough. Sarah immediately arranged a call to talk me through my options and what is involved. I live in Lincolnshire and Sarah thought of everything to make my visit to the clinic in Cheshire easy. The initial consultation with Dr Campbell was so relaxed and informative, I felt so looked after from first contact. The Colon Capsule involves all the same bowel clearing preps as a colonoscopy and Sarah actually brought the meds to my hotel and went through everything with me. She stayed in touch throughout the entire experience. The capsule was incredibly easy to swallow. Everything is explained so carefully and nothing is too much trouble for this team. Everyone at the Capsule Clinic is so friendly, caring, experienced and knowledgeable. The technology is incredible. My entire experience was so positive and my results came through quickly. I would recommend The Capsule Clinic to anyone who needs their services, whether they are local or further afield. The team facilitate your visit to make it an enjoyable experience!

In my 60s I have far too much experience of time spent with consultants, but as such I feel pretty qualified to know a good team when I find them. Simon and Sara are in a league of their own. I can honestly say I have never ever come across a more caring and supportive dynamic. From the very first meeting, including a superb cup of tea, they exuded everything you could ask for when you just need support. Professionalism is one word I could use but it doesn’t do them justice, they go way beyond that! They have been by my side every step of the way through some pretty grisly days and without them the journey would have been tricky. In a nut shell I cannot speak highly enough about them, but most of all I owe them my eternal thanks. Bit gushy I know 😂. But true.

Great, speedy, professional service all round from The Capsule Clinic. My interactions with both Simon & his knowledgable PA Sarah were great. Simon is clearly an experienced gastroenterologist and one of, if not the gastroenterologist with the most experience in Capsule Endoscopy specifically in the North West, so it was a no brainer doing the study through him. The procedure itself was very easy, just like swallowing any other capsule/supplement, no issues, passed it the next day. After I received the report which had a couple details I was unsure about and hadn't discussed at the follow up consult, I emailed a couple followup questions over for peace of mind, which Simon responded to the same day. Self-pay price was fair and comparable or slightly better than other prices I'd seen. Would use The Capsule Clinic again if required!
