Dr. Haidry is a Consultant Gastroenterologist and interventional endoscopist at University College Hospital, London. He trained at St Mary's Hospital in London and completed his Specialist Gastroenterology training in North East London. He was then appointed to a two-year academic fellowship at UCL where he examined state of the art and innovative diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of early cancers arising in the gastrointestinal tract.

He was appointed as a consultant at UCLH in 2011. He is the Clinical lead for endoscopy at Cleveland Clinic London. His main interests are pre-malignant and malignant disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, with a particular interest in Barrett’s and Squamous neoplasia, oesophageal cancer and advanced interventional endoscopy. His main areas of interest and clinical research focus on novel and innovative endoscopic imaging techniques and therapeutic endoscopic approaches such as endoscopic resection, radiofrequency ablation, cryoablation, endoscopic ultrasound and complex stricture management. More recently he has started to work on metabolic endoscopy and was the first person in the UK to perform endoscopic duodenal mucosal resurfacing for Type 2 diabetes patients.

He has an academic position at UCL exploring existing and novel endoscopic imaging technologies for detecting early cancers. His other main research focus is minimally invasive techniques for treating cancers of the upper gastrointestinal tract and metabolic endoscopy. He is active academically and continues to lead and be involved in several national and international clinical trials in these fields. He is a member of the BSG (British Society of Gastroenterology) endoscopy committee and coordinates several highly acclaimed live endoscopy workshops at UCLH every year.
