About Mr Tim Bullen

Mr Tim Bullen is a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon with extensive experience in general and specialist colorectal surgery. He graduated in Medicine from the University of Liverpool in 1998 and later completed an MD in 2010, focusing on research into mechanisms of cell shedding from the gastrointestinal tract.

His postgraduate surgical training was undertaken within the Mersey region, followed by a specialist fellowship at the The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, where he developed advanced expertise in colorectal and oncological surgery. He also previously worked as a Consultant Colorectal Surgeon at Chesterfield Hospital before joining the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust, where he has practised for over seven years.

Mr Bullen specialises in the diagnosis and surgical management of conditions affecting the colon, rectum and anus. His clinical practice includes the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, bowel dysfunction, anorectal disease and complex abdominal wall hernias.

Mr Bullen was a joy to deal with despite the circumstances. He has a brilliant bedside manner and really puts you at ease at every step of your care. Being an highly anxious person I was very worried about my problem. Everything was explained thoroughly with clear communication at every step of the way, and plenty of time given for questions and arranging next steps. If you find yourself in a situation where you may need to see Mr Bullen, i thoroughoy recommend him.

Very promptly seen after making an appointment. Mr Bullen was clear about my condition and explained the process in terms of both benefits and risks of a procedure. The support at the hospital is excellent and the assessment nurse was thorough and also explained the assessment fully and the upcoming process. All the staff I encountered were friendly, helpful and professional.
