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.
