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.

Graduated 2003
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. Elliot Tash is professional, listening carefully and giving clear explanations. Patients find procedures like endoscopy and colonoscopy comfortable, leading to swift diagnoses and personalised treatment plans. Dr. Tash ensures patients feel at ease, trusting his comprehensive expertise and care. His practice frequently addresses gastroscopy, colonoscopy, stomach or abdominal pain, and acid reflux.
Exceptional from the start. Great comms booking appointments, super professional and friendly. I did not feel rushed at any point. Highly recommended.
Dr Tash is kind & explained the answers to my questions clearly.
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 always able to provide extremely clear explanations. He has a wonderful way about him which always makes me feel at ease and comfortable and able to place my trust in him fully.
Dr Tash has been great throughout my investigations, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Professional, kind and above all “Human” Would highly recommend him.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind feedback.
Very clear communication regarding my procedure. The team made me feel relaxed before the procedure.

Thank you for your kind feedback. It is appreciated.
I was seen promptly and Dr Tash explained the results of my procedure. All of my questions were answered clearly and reassuringly. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind feedback
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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind review. We are so pleased to hear of your positive experience.
I have known Dr Tash for many years and he is an excellent clinician and endoscopist.
