Dr Ramakrishnan is an excellent consultant, he has a very nice calming demeanour and really takes the time to listen and understand your situation. I had various gastro problems a year before and through various tests he established that I have severe pancreatic insufficiency. To try and find the cause and the put my mind at rest, even though I had previously had a CT scan of my abdomen he recommended getting a MRI done, specifically looking at the pancreas. Thankfully that was all clear and I have now been given a plan to manage the condition I have. I wouldn’t hesitate in returning to see him and would happily recommend him. Thank you Dr Ram!

Dr Ramakrishan was absolutely brilliant. The initial consultation was completed and tests were booked as required for my symptoms. The procedures and results were fully explained and the follow up consultation was completed quickly. Dr Ramakrishan has a very pleasant and relaxing manner which keeps you relaxed and informed. I would highly recommend Dr Ramakrishan.

I made an appointment with Dr Ramakrishnan as I was very worried about pancreatic cancer, which I have lost immediate family to. Dr Ramakrishnan understood my concerns and for my peace of mind he arranged for a CT scan to check the pancreas more closely. The CT scan came back clear on my pancreas but picked up a problem with my kidneys which showed a tumour, which I had not had any symptoms for. He immediately referred me to a colleague for this. I also had a gastroscopy with Dr Ramakrishnan to check my oesophagus and stomach to confirm the symptoms I had were not related to a problem there. Dr Ramakrishnan is kind, patient and very thorough. He spent time explaining all the checks and the results. He made me feel that time was not an issue and would talk and answer any questions or worries that I had. I highly recommend Dr Ramakrishan to anyone who has symptoms, concerns or worries. Thank you Dr Ramakrishnan.

Ive been a patient for well over 12 years now and would not be happy seeing anyone else. When ive been admitted he has come to see me regardless of time, he listens, he understands, doesn’t brush you off, he is extremely knowledgeable and I can contact him at any time as i have a very complex condition to which i have shared care with Professor D Sanders at the Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield. They both are very good at their job and very knowledgeable, I completely trust both of them and would highly recommend them to anyone who is suffering with Gastro health conditions. I would be totally lost if i didnt have these guys around, as they are the only ones in Britain who fully understand my condition and they always confirm with each other on any changes, i have Type 1 Refractory Coeliac Disease which is rare but comes with other heath issues unfortunately.

Profile

After my basic qualification I have completed more than 15 years of practice in the field of Gastroenterology and General medicine covering all aspects of this specialty.

I have been practising as a Consultant Gastroenterologist since 2007 and have a specialist interest in all aspects of endoscopy, gastroenterology, liver and pancreatic disease.

I have a keen interest in service development, teaching and training.

As endoscopy lead I established a brand new three room endoscopy unit at Warrington and Halton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and led the team to achieve national accreditation (JAG) in 2009. I am now the lead for the Endoscopy Unit at Spire Cheshire Hospital and In this role led the team in this hospital to achieve national accreditation (JAG) in 2016.

I have been the lead for Advancing Quality programme (AQuA) for the Trust and have participated actively in achieving a high quality of care across both medical and surgical divisions of the hospital.

As the joint lead for management of alcohol related liver disease for the AQuA programme I have streamlined guidelines for evidence based high quality management of this condition.

I teach all levels of trainees nurses and colleagues to update them of recent advances and techniques.

I am currently the lead for research in Gastroenterology for the Trust and we are actively recruiting to several NIHR clinical trials and have started recruiting in commercial trials.

As a keen family man, I enjoy my spare time interacting with children and travelling as much as possible. I also enjoy many sports, particularly cricket.

I pride myself in being very open with patients and am keen to promote a patient centred approach to managing their illnesses.
