About me

Dr Frank Phillips is an experienced and dedicated Consultant Gastroenterologist working at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, The Park Hospital and Spire Hospital in Nottingham. He has one of the largest and most diverse Gastroenterology practices in the East Midlands, investigating and treating patients
with the full range of conditions related to the gastrointestinal tract.

Dr Phillips' comprehensive training enables him to provide his patients with the highest quality care. He holds degrees in Biochemistry (University of Bristol) and Medicine (St George's, University of London), achieving a Distinction in Medical Sciences and completing his specialty exit examination in his first year of Gastroenterology specialist training. He is one of few consultants nationally to have achieved triple fellowship training in advanced clinical nutrition, inflammatory bowel disease, and advanced endoscopy at the renowned centres of Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge and St Mark's Hospital London, whilst also training with the gastrointestinal cancer team at The Royal Marsden Hospital London.

With his subspecialty expertise in both advanced clinical nutrition and inflammatory bowel disease, Dr Phillips receives tertiary centre referrals from hospitals throughout the East Midlands region for complex IBD, complex feeding tube complications and intestinal failure. He performs around 600 diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopies a year, prioritising safety and quality. He routinely uses water-assisted insertion techniques for greater patient comfort during colonoscopy and has never had a serious complication.

Dr Phillips is well known for introducing innovative treatments for his patients. He has a strong research background resulting in high impact publications, international presentations, and 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 electives for students affected by war and conflict.
