About Prof Owen Epstein
Professor Owen Epstein is a highly experienced gastroenterologist. He is a senior author of the best-selling textbook "Clinical Examination" and has published over 100 peer reviewed and research papers. Professor Epstein's career has been dedicated to front-line clinical work, undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and clinical research. As part of his role in education, he has lectured widely and chaired both the clinical department of gastroenterology and the endoscopy unit at the Royal Free Hospital. Professor Epstein has a special interest in the innovation of healthcare and utilisation of modern medical technologies to benefit patients. These include whole bowel wireless capsule (pill) endoscopy and hydrogen or 13C breath testing variously for lactose intolerance, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, Helicobacter pylori, and stomach pump function. He also has considerable experience in the physiological assessment of the vagus nerve and stress and, in particular, its relationship to abnormal gut feelings. Professor Epstein was one of the first gastroenterologists to recognise the role of nurse specialists. He initiated nurse led clinics for dyspepsia, iron deficiency, IBD, coeliac disease and family cancer syndromes. He also led the development of colonoscopy at the hospital and trained many of the registrars and specialist nurse endoscopists.
"Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions."
