Dr Nicholas Hudson

I offer a comprehensive therapeutic endoscopy service in Worcester, including polyp removal (polypectomy), endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) of gastric and colonic lesions, oesophageal balloon dilatation for strictures, and variceal band ligation. Working closely with a fellow Gastroenterologist, I provide the majority of endoscopic stenting services in Worcestershire, treating oesophageal, duodenal, biliary, and colonic obstruction, and recently introduced a colonic stenting service for bowel obstruction.

I have a large and established clinical practice in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and manage a significant workload of advanced endoscopic procedures each year. This includes performing over 1,200 upper gastrointestinal endoscopies, 500 colonoscopies with a caecal intubation rate exceeding 95%, and approximately 130 ERCP procedures annually, achieving biliary cannulation rates of over 90%.

I maintain a long‑standing gastroenterology practice in Worcester and Worcestershire, providing ongoing care for patients with inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, and biliary disorders. I oversee the National IBD Audit programme for Worcestershire Hospitals, contributing to service quality, patient safety, and clinical excellence across the region.

I trained at Birmingham Medical School, graduating in Spring 2000, and completed an MD thesis at University Hospital Nottingham focusing on gastrointestinal injury associated with NSAID use. Following appointment as Senior Registrar in Gastroenterology at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, I became a Consultant Gastroenterologist at City Hospital Birmingham. I moved to Worcester Royal Infirmary in Spring 2000, where I continue to practise and provide specialist gastroenterology care.
