I visited Dr Ramakrishnan with the view I was wasting his time. He reassured me this wasn't the case and carried out various thorough tests in order to establish the cause of my discomfort. At all time I understood exactly what test and procedure I was undertaking and why. I didn't feel rushed and felt I could ask any question regardless of how minor it seemed.

A brilliant physician, endoscopist and communicator. From another doctor (on the other side of the desk for a change!) Thanks again

Dr. Ramakrishnan is a wonderful gastroenterologist and physician. I find him to be very dedicated and committed to his patients. I have seen examples of his compassion and professionalism both from a personal level as a patient myself, and as a former member of staff working alongside Dr. Ramakrishnan as a healthcare professional. He is very thorough in his approach to a patient’s condition, takes time to listen, and is reassuring and clear in his explanations to patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Ramakrishnan to anyone who is seeking a skilled and caring Consultsnt Gastroenterologist.

Dr Ramakrishnan has been remarkable with his help and kindness during my recent diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis. He is generous with his time with my appointments, listening to me and explains things in terms that make sense to me. I can not speak highly enough of him.

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.
