Dr Ram is a great doctor and his care of me has always been excellent. Always explaining with diagrams as to what is going on inside my body to help me understand my condition. Explaining the medication he prescribes me and how it works and always prioritising my everyday health over any invasive procedures that may need to be done. I can communicate with Dr Ram about anything to do with my symptoms and he will always take it on board and give me excellent advise. I trust his medical advice 100% of the time.

I first met Dr ram when I was severely poorly fighting for my life in Warrington hospital 3 months pregnant with my first child. The care I recieved from day one has been amazing and he has saved my life numerous times over these 11 years . He is extremely professional any slight changes to my condition he arranges the tests and examinations immediately. He is caring and always remembers myself and my family even though he has hundreds of patients he sees he never forgets anything about the care he has given me over the years. Without a doubt I would recommend Dr ram to any of my friends who have similar issues as myself. Thankyou Dr ram for everything you have done for me and my family over the last 11 years keeping me alive to spend my time with my family I will be forever grateful.

Dr Ramakrishnan (Dr Ram) is a very kind, compassionate and empathetic man. He listens carefully to what you say and is genuinely interested in helping you. I had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. Dr Ram ensured that I had enough sedation during the procedures to alleviate my anxiety and ensure that I was as comfortable as possible. At a later appointment, Dr Ram carefully explained the results of the procedures and of biopsies he had taken. He carefully answered all of my questions, without rushing me. He gave advice for managing my problems, including reducing the dosage of my prescription medication and specific advice regarding which over the counter medications to avoid. I would highly recommend Dr Ram to anyone looking for an excellent Gastroenterologist.

Very easy to talk to and understand. Dr Ram went to great trouble to explain all the relevant information clearly and in the appropriate level of detail. He outlined his recommended treatment, reasons and associated risks and then made the necessary arrangements quickly. The procedures were carried out with skill and efficiency and I felt in very safe and competent hands.

I would highly recommend him to anyone.

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.
