Dr Rhys Hewett

Consultant Gastroenterologist

MBBS MSc MD FRCP


Specialises in

  • Diagnosis and treatment of all gastrointestinal conditions
  • Management of functional bowel disorders

I am an experienced gastroenterologist. I qualified as a doctor in 2003 and was appointed as a consultant in 2017. I specialise in the diagnosis of all gastrointestinal conditions and I am an expert in the management of functional bowel disorders, such as functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel and gastroparesis.

I have a particular interest in clinical nutrition, malabsorptive conditions and oesophageal disorders such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, oesophageal dysmotility, eosinophilic oesophagitis and Barrett's oesophagus.

I have extensive experience and expertise in performing gastroscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy and my key performance indicators are excellent. I am an endoscopy trainer and an accredited bowel screening Wales colonoscopist.

I was the clinical lead for nutrition and head of the Welsh intestinal failure service in Cardiff between 2017 and 2024. I have extensive experience in managing patients with intestinal failure. In 2024 I moved to the Royal Gwent hospital to take up an advanced endoscopy role.

I was previously the educational faculty lead for medicine in Cardiff and I am currently the co-training programme director for gastroenterology in Wales.

I have had a number of original research and review articles published in international gastroenterology journals. I have a doctor of medicine by research degree (MD) from the University of London.
