He specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive conditions, with particular expertise in bowel cancer screening, Barrett’s oesophagus and reflux disease, and advanced endoscopic procedures.

• Barrett’s oesophagus and reflux disease
• Therapeutic endoscopy
• ERCP for bile duct and pancreatic disease
• Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)
• Capsule endoscopy for small bowel investigation
Advanced Endoscopic Treatments
Dr Swan performs a number of specialised procedures that allow certain conditions to be treated endoscopically without surgery. These include:
• Removal of large or complex colon polyps
• Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR)

Dr Swan has expertise in advanced therapeutic endoscopy and regularly manages patients referred for complex endoscopic procedures, including large colon polyps, Barrett’s neoplasia, early gastrointestinal cancers and oesophageal motility disorders.
