Experience
As a postgraduate, Charles Gordon trained on the South West London
rotation, including the St George's National Endoscopy Centre, and The Royal
London (The Wingate Centre). During his training he established an upper GI
Physiology Centre at St George's whilst researching oesophageal physiology,
Barrett's oesophagus and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. He is now a
Consultant Gastroenterologist at the Royal Bournemouth and Christchurch
NHS Trust. He is lead for Endoscopy and Endoscopy training, as well as GI
Physiology. He is spearheading new developments in oesophageal medicine
and in the management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. He is an experienced
endoscopist, both upper GI and colonoscopy. His areas of specialist interest
include endoscopy, reflux disease, the hiatus hernia, colonoscopy, irritable
bowel syndrome and GI physiology.
Recently he has started a new service for patients with Barrett’s oesophagus.
Radio-frequency ablation (RFA) completely removes abnormal Barrett’s tissue
via an endoscope, in patients who may have previously required major
surgery to remove their oesophagus. This is the 12th unit in the UK to offer this
service, and the only unit in the South West.
