About me

Prof James East is one of Europe's leading colonoscopists. He works as a Consultant Gastroenterologist and Endoscopist, and is an Associate Professor, based at the Translational Gastroenterology Unit, John Radcliffe Hospital, University of Oxford. He wrote the chapters on Endoscopy for the 6th Edition of the Oxford Textbook of Medicine.

For the last decade he had been the Clinical Lead for Endoscopy at the John Radcliffe and Director of Bowel Cancer Screening Oxfordshire.

He trained in Edinburgh, Cambridge and London, with a research fellowship at St. Mark’s Hospital leading to an MD(Res) from Imperial College. He received the British Society of Gastroenterologys Hopkins Prize on the basis of this work.

His clinical practice focuses on all aspects of general gastroenterology including heartburn, gastro-oesophageal reflux, nausea and vomiting, swallowing problems, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, anaemia and rectal bleeding. He also has a specialist interest in advanced upper and lower GI endoscopy, as well as bowel cancer screening and is accredited as a colonoscopist by the National Bowel Cancer Screening Programme.

He moved to Oxfordshire a decade ago from North London with his wife and children, and has been enjoying the countryside ever since. He is passionate about developing Endoscopy and Bowel cancer screening for the Oxfordshire population, and in between this manages to fit in a bit of fly fishing and skiing.
