About me
Dr Frank Phillips is an experienced and dedicated Consultant Gastroenterologist at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, where he investigates and treats patients with the full range of conditions related to the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. His subspecialty expertise in both advanced clinical nutrition and inflammatory bowel disease IBD means he is integral to both teams, receiving tertiary centre referrals from hospitals throughout the East Midlands region for complex IBD, complex feeding tube complications and intestinal failure.
Dr Phillips performs around 600 diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies a year, and provides a regional service for advanced techniques relating to feeding tube complications. He prioritises quality, safety and comfort, using water-assisted insertion techniques for colonoscopy and the highly effective underwater technique for removing larger polyps.
Dr Phillips' comprehensive training and diverse clinical practice enables him to provide his patients with the highest quality care. He holds degrees in Biochemistry University of Bristol and Medicine St Georges, University of London, achieving a Distinction in Medical Sciences. He remains one of the only gastroenterologists to have completed their specialty exit examination in the first year of training, and to have achieved triple fellowship training in advanced clinical nutrition, inflammatory bowel disease, and advanced endoscopy at the renowned centres of Addenbrookes Hospital Cambridge and St Marks Hospital London.
Dr Phillips continues to be actively involved in research, having delivered important evidence on the risks and safety of endoscopy in the COVID era. He has a number of first author publications in high impact journals and has presented his research findings internationally, earning recognition with a British Society of Gastroenterology Research Prize. He continues to be dedicated to medical training at all levels, including organising and sponsoring medical students affected by war and conflict to study in Nottingham on their medical electives.
