About Dr. Elliot Tash
I graduated from King's College, London in 1997 with a BSc (Hons) in Pharmacology and Leicester University Medical School in 2003. I completed my postgraduate specialist training in the East of England (Cambridge) deanery training rotation and am dual accredited in both Gastroenterology and General Internal Medicine. I was awarded with an MRCP (Gastroenterology) in 2011 and a certificate of completion of training in
Gastroenterology and General Internal Medicine in March 2015. In 2019 I was
awarded with a Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians (FRCP).
Throughout my training I acquired
extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of a wide spectrum of
gastrointestinal (GI) disorders including complex Inflammatory Bowel Disease
(IBD), Barrett's Oesophagus, upper and lower GI cancer, pancreaticobiliary,
functional and GI dysmotility disorders. I have a subspecialty interest in
Endoscopy and was awarded and undertook a Fellowship in Advanced Endoscopy at
Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge. It was during this time that I further
developed my endoscopic skills in several areas, including resection of large
benign polyps, ERCP and balloon enteroscopy.
I was the Clinical Lead for Endoscopy and have been working as a Consultant Gastroenterologist and General Physician at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital since 2015. In 2019, I led the Trust Endoscopy Department through the Royal College of Physicians ‘JAG Accreditation' process and visit, achieving outstanding reviews from the assessors and awarded the Trust ‘Team of the Month'.
I chaired the quarterly Endoscopy Clinical Governance meeting for many years and am a core member of the Colorectal Multidisciplinary Team. I was the lead for JETS Endoscopy training (training endoscopists of the future) and regularly act as an external faculty member on JAG accredited training courses, in other Trusts, around the country.

Qualifications
I have performed more than 5000 endoscopic procedures, with an unadjusted colonoscopy completion rate of 95%, a polyp detection rate of 66%, with a low sedation and excellent comfort scores; this is despite undertaking difficult and complex endoscopic procedures, including those patients referred to me by other consultant colleagues. I am proficient in diagnostic and therapeutic gastroscopy (including all modalities for emergency UGI bleeds), flexible sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy and ERCP (for gallstones, jaundice and bile duct exploration). I am accredited as a National Bowel Cancer Screening Colonoscopist and have a twice weekly dedicated therapeutic list for EMR (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection); allowing the removal of large polyps without the need for surgery. In addition, I also introduced and undertake a regular deep sedation list for prolonged therapeutic procedures as well as for those who are unable to tolerate endoscopic investigations under conscious sedation.

The appointment with Dr Tash was encouraging, informative and positive. He was easy to talk to and listened to my questions, providing me with answers.
I have seen Dr Tash several times and each time he has listened to me and sought to understand my symptoms, he has been clear with his treatment plan and all diagnostics have been booked in very fast.
Couldn’t have asked for better, kinder and reassuring care. Would highly recommend Dr Tash
Thank you for your kind words. It is appreciated.
My experience was excellent. My consultant, Dr Tash, provided a friendly and highly efficient service throughout. He took the time to clearly explain each step of the process, so I always knew what to expect. His expertise was evident, and I was particularly impressed by the accuracy and speed with which he handled my case. I also appreciated his honesty and transparency when discussing the results.
Thank you for sharing your experience and kind words.
Having gone through a very unpleasant 8 months, with my GP not appearing to be too bothered by my discomfort or of finding the root cause of my problem, I attended my appointment with Dr Tash without very high expectations, almost resigned to the fact that a root cause and/or solution would not be found. However, Dr Tash listened to what I had to say, took notes, and examined me. At the end of all this he recommended I have a colonoscopy carried out as he agreed that something was not right and that thus far I had been treated for symptoms and not the underlying cause. Whilst I as yet do not have a diagnosis, my colonoscopy doesn't happen until next month, at least I feel reassured that steps are being taken in an attempt to discover what has been causing my problems so that a solution can be found. Dr Tash is a very quietly spoken, calm and reassuring doctor.
Dr Tash demonstrates real understanding of the human being, as well as the body parts that are misbehaving which he investigates very thoroughly. I have a high level of trust in his judgement and enjoy our interactions despite them being on Zoom which is a medium I don't particularly enjoy.
I received exemplary care from Dr Tash and can absolutely assure everyone that they will to. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes his time to explain things together with next steps and what to expect.
Thank you for your kind feedback.
Perfect in every aspect.
