Nucleus Healthcare is the UK’s only private gastroenterology hospital. The hospital was founded by Dr Manny Srivastava, who worked in the NHS for 21 years.

“I had a vision to develop a stand alone centre of excellence in gastroenterology within Wales.

My focus was to establish an exclusive healthcare unit where patients could feel secure in the knowledge they would receive exceptional care within state of the art, purpose built surroundings.”

Nucleus Healthcare is an unique concept focusing on expert diagnosis, treatment of all symptoms and problems within the digestive system. The facility is provided over two floors covering a total of 27,000 square feet with two dedicated endoscopy theatres, 10 en-suite rooms, recovery area and much more.

Patients can have the very best in latest techniques, clinical procedures and treatment under one roof. Nucleus prides itself at being able to offer consultations with a variety of specialists and surgeons who have expertise in the entire spectrum of digestive disease. Nucleus can provide investigations, including capsule endoscopy and pH manometry studies, ensuring patients are investigated throughout the entire digestive tract if necessary. Diagnosis of digestive tract disorders and symptoms is essential to exclude more serious illnesses such as inflammatory bowel disease, 18,000 new cases of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are diagnosed each year in the UK.

Nucleus incorporates the latest medical advances in gastroenterology and also offers screening for oesophageal, stomach and bowel cancer. This is an increasing worry for today’s generation as every 30 minutes someone dies of bowel cancer in the UK and every 15 minutes someone else is diagnosed. Bowel screening focuses on identification of pre-cancerous polyps which can be completely removed, preventing cancer.

Nucleus Healthcare boasts an exceptional and talented team of experts to help each and every patient receive outstanding care and treatment.
