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.

Dr Tash was excellent throughout my treatment. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and clearly explained the available options. My endoscopy procedure went very smoothly, even though I only had sedation. Having undergone an endoscopy before, I can confidently say this experience was much easier and more comfortable. He was able to identify the underlying issue, and the treatment he prescribed appears to be working. Recovery is taking some time, but I have already noticed some improvement. I am very grateful for his expertise, professionalism, and patient-centred approach.

After having survived 11 months of gastric problems, that my GP seemed to take very little interest in, I contacted Mr Tash via my private health insurance. Mr Tash is a very calm, quiet, and unassuming man. He listened carefully to what I had to say, took on board all my symptoms, how I was feeling, and reacted swiftly. I underwent a colonoscopy, the results of which showed there was nothing seriously wrong. My problems still persist so he has suggested I make appointments to see two other specialists in the hope of discovering just what is causing me all these problems. I do not, as yet, have a resolution but at least I am two steps closer to getting one.

During my recent endoscopy, colonoscopy and consultations, I found Mr Tash to be a very honest, kind, and approachable consultant who is very easy to talk to and highly professional. He takes the time to listen carefully and explains everything thoroughly and in detail. I never felt rushed during my appointments with him. He is patient, thorough, and makes you feel completely comfortable and at ease throughout the consultation.. Thank you

Dr Tash is attentive, confident, thorough with his investigations, very clear with his explanations, and meticulous with next steps, treatment and forward planning. He is both professional and pleasant. I have self managed my IBS for decades not really believing that there was any real benefit taking the medical route. However, Dr Tash has shown that medical intervention and update is crucial where needed but he also has a very holistic approach to his remedies and treatment plan.
