PROFILE SUMMARY

About Dr Leena Sinha at a glance

Dr Leena Sinha is a Gastroenterology practitioner based in Essex, United Kingdom, practising at Universitat de València Teaching Hospital. They have 33+ years of clinical experience. Procedures focus on gp consultation, annual physical exam, vaccination administration, minor procedure (skin). Educated at Universitat de València (MD, 2017). Serves patients in Essex, United Kingdom and the surrounding area.

About

As a senior consultant gastroenterologist with over two decades of NHS and private sector experience, I offer comprehensive and compassionate care to patients across London and Essex. My clinical practice combines medical excellence with a holistic, patient-centred approach—underpinned by clear, empathetic communication at every stage.


My areas of expertise include:


Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Clinical Lead and Principal Investigator in IBD research

Diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy, including capsule and colon capsule endoscopy

Functional and nutritional gut health

Complex gastroenterological diagnostics and multidisciplinary management


I work across top-tier private hospitals including Nuffield Health, Spire, and The London Clinic. In addition to delivering high-quality care, I advocate for innovation, medical education, and continuous service development—demonstrated by my leadership roles in endoscopy and IBD services, and my role as Chair of the BSG Small Bowel & Nutrition Section (2022–2024).

My ethos is simple: treat the patient, not just the disease. I strive to ensure every individual feels heard, informed, and empowered in their care.




Clinical Services

Diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal conditions including IBD (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), irritable bowel syndrome, reflux, dyspepsia, coeliac disease, gastrointestinal bleeding, and nutritional disorders.


Advanced diagnostic procedures including:


Upper and lower diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy and colon capsule for small and large bowel assessment

Bowel cancer screening and polyp surveillance

Liver disease management, including fatty liver and viral hepatitis

Functional gut health optimisation, informed by my postgraduate training in nutrition

Clinical support for complex and multi-system presentations, with careful liaison with surgical and medical colleagues

Virtual consultations, second opinions, and follow-up care


What Makes My Practice Stand Out
IBD Leadership: Former Clinical Lead for IBD at a major UK teaching hospital, where I introduced:

IBD Hot Clinics and Virtual Biologics Clinics

IBD app for patient engagement

CNS-led daily ward cover and enhanced IBD nurse team

Evidence-based protocols and multidisciplinary pathways

Capsule Endoscopy Expertise: Pioneered and expanded a high-volume capsule endoscopy service, including the introduction of colon capsule for minimally invasive large bowel assessment—helping patients avoid unnecessary procedures.

Endoscopy Service Development: As Endoscopy Lead, I led my department to JAG accreditation, implemented safety protocols (including the Endoscopy Safety Checklist), and introduced training for nurse and non-medical endoscopists.

Research & Innovation: Principal Investigator for national IBD research studies (e.g., LUCENT, SPIT, and IBD BioResource), contributing to cutting-edge treatment strategies and access to novel therapies.

Education & Governance: Passionate about teaching, I have developed formal induction and training frameworks for junior doctors and regularly contribute to clinical governance, service audits, and ethical medical leadership.

Private Practice Locations
I currently see private patients at several leading London and Essex centres including:

Nuffield Health (Brentwood, St Bartholomew’s and The Holly Hospital)

Spire London East and Hartswood Hospitals

The London Clinic, Harley Street

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
