"I have worked with Laurence Maiden for over 20 years. He is an extremely likeable, clever, articulate and hard-working individual. In addition to his experience and knowledge as a consultant gastroenterologist, Laurence has developed particular skills as an endoscopist. He is accreditated to perform screening colonoscopy for the NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme and able to remove large or "advanced" colonic polyps (using the latest techniques). Furthermore, he is an expert in small intestine capsule endoscopy having been at the forefront of this technology whilst a Research Fellow at Kings College Hospital, London. Indeed, he was awarded a MD by the University of London for his original research on this topic. "
