He specialises in diagnosing and managing a wide range of gastroenterology and liver diseases, with a particular subspecialist interest in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Dr. Smith completed his medical training (MBChB) and earned a degree in psychological medicine (BMedSci (Hons)) at the University of Birmingham in 2009. He later completed his higher specialty training in Gastroenterology, resulting in his appointment as a Consultant Gastroenterologist at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust in 2022. During his training, he further developed his interest in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and endoscopy by completing a PhD entitled “Advanced Endoscopic Techniques in the Lower Gastrointestinal Tract” at the University of Birmingham. His research has been widely published in peer-reviewed journals, and he has presented at international meetings, including chairing sessions.

Dr. Smith has worked across various secondary and tertiary centres in the West Midlands, including a 12-month placement at the internationally recognised Liver Transplant Unit at Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. With his enhanced training and expertise, he is dedicated to providing a personalised, evidence-based service. Dr. Smith listens attentively to his patients' concerns, clearly explains diagnoses and required investigations, and works collaboratively to develop tailored treatment plans.

My experience seeing Dr Smith from initial consultation, to the endoscopy procedures, to the follow up reports and consultation was superb. He is incredibly professional, knowledgable and reassuring. I felt genuinely comfortable and at ease during both the endoscopy and colonoscopy - so much so that I would now not worry at all if I ever needed to have either again. I would thoroughly recommend Dr Smith.
