John Meenan
Consultant Gastroenterologist
John Meenan is a Consultant Gastroenterologist at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital, London. There he is chairman of the Surgical Clinical Governance Committee. He is chairman of the UK/Ireland EUS Users' Group and a member of the International Committee of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).
I see patients from both the UK and abroad for a broad range of reasons ranging from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), screening for bowel cancers to oesophageal reflux and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I have a particular interest in advanced endoscopic techniques including endoscopy, colonoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound (used in the detailed diagnosis and assessment of gut cancers as well as in seeking the cause of unexplained abdominal pain). I have introduced to Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital a new non-operation method for treating early cancers (Endoscopic Mucosal Resection).
I qualified from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (1986) and trained in Gastroenterology at St. James's Hospital, Dublin (1989-1992), the Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam (1992-1996) and at Guy's and St. Thomas' Hospital, London (1996-1999). I have published research papers and text-book chapters on topics including the immunology of IBD (PhD, University of Amsterdam); large bowel folate metabolism (MD, Trinity College, Dublin) and endoscopic ultrasound. A list of publications may be seen through the Entrez PubMed website. I regularly attend international conferences both to give invited talks and to keep abreast of new techniques and treatments.
