Dr Konrad Koss

 Dr Konrad Koss was appointed as a Consultant Gastroenterologist at East Cheshire NHS
Trust and Salford Royal Foundation Trust in 2006. 

His private practice is based at Spire Regency Hospital Macclesfield,
Spire Manchester Hospital in Didsbury, and The Alexandra Hospital in Cheadle. 

Over the years, he has built extensive experience through both clinical
practice and research. 

His areas of interest are broad, encompassing general gastroenterology,
advanced endoscopy, and hepatology. He has a particular interest in the
diagnosis and treatment of reflux disease, including Bravo capsule assessment
and treatment with the Stretta procedure. 

Dr Koss sees patients with a wide range of gastrointestinal complaints,
including reflux, indigestion, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea,
constipation, weight loss, irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerance, and
rectal bleeding. He manages patients with complex inflammatory bowel disease
such as Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and microscopic colitis, as well
as those with liver disease. 

He participates in weekly IBD and HPB multidisciplinary meetings and
currently serves as Lead for Endoscopy. He is also an examiner for
accreditation within the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme. 

Dr Koss performs the full range of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic
procedures, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy, polypectomy, endoluminal
stenting, dilatations, PEG/PEJ tube insertion, EUS, and ERCP. He has performed
more than 10,000 procedures to date. 

His patients find him approachable, as he takes time to listen to their
concerns, works collaboratively with them, and aims to provide the best
available treatments and solutions. He works closely with colleagues in
surgery, radiology, gynaecology, and other specialties to ensure the best
outcomes for his patients. 

He graduated with distinction from the Medical University of Gdańsk,
where he completed his basic medical training. He subsequently pursued research
at Imperial College London, followed by a PhD and postdoctoral research at the
University of Oxford. He completed his gastroenterology training in Birmingham
and undertook a short sabbatical in New Zealand. 

Alongside his clinical work, he maintains a strong interest in research.
He is a principal investigator for multiple gastroenterology trials and has
contributed to the latest British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) guidelines
on inflammatory bowel disease. 

Dr Koss holds memberships with several professional organisations,
including the British Society of Gastroenterology and the British Association
for the Study of the Liver.
