RefluxUK Diagnostics

Clinician-oriented GI physiology testing from the UK's leading specialist reflux provider

Diagnostics conceived by doctors for doctors

As clinicians specialising in gastro-oesophageal care, we deeply understand the crucial role high-quality diagnostic physiology testing plays in effective management decisions. These tests are fundamental for achieving optimal patient outcomes. Recognising that not all tests or reports are equal, we created a bespoke diagnostics service tailored specifically to our clinical needs. Originally developed to enhance decision-making for our own patients, this high-standard service is now available to colleagues nationwide.

We provide a national specialist referral service characterised by efficiency, responsiveness, and exceptional customer care. Our highly trained GI physiologists collaborate closely with specialist gastroenterologists to deliver rapid, co-reported diagnostic assessments. Our goal is to support referring upper GI surgeons, gastroenterologists, ENT surgeons, and other clinicians with industry-leading investigations, insightful collaboration, clear communication, and trusted, high-quality reporting.

The dual-reporting difference

At Reflux UK we aim to deliver a physiology service of the highest possible standards.

We are proud to have a team of highly experienced clinical scientists specialising in gastro-intestinal physiology who work collaboratively with our team of expert gastroenterologists. This plays a vital role in delivering a comprehensive patient-centred report. By uniting the precision physiological data with the clinical acumen of experienced gastroenterologists, this multidisciplinary approach enables the creation of integrated holistic reports that go beyond isolated test results.

Clinical scientists bring detailed objective measurements of GI function, while the gastroenterologists provide nuanced interpretation within the broader context of the patient’s symptoms, history and overall health. Together they ensure that every report is not only scientifically robust but also clinically meaningful – facilitating accurate diagnoses, informed treatment plans and ultimately improved patient outcomes.

RefluxUK MDT review

Our cases are regularly discussed at our established RefluxUK Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings. These sessions involve our surgeons, gastroenterologists, clinical scientists, clinical practitioners, dieticians, and occasionally other specialists, including speech and language therapists and ENT surgeons. This collaborative forum facilitates collective decision-making, mutual learning, optimised treatment planning, and comprehensive support for referring consultants.

We warmly invite referring clinicians to join these MDT meetings to discuss patient cases, gain valuable insights, and benefit from collective clinical expertise. We firmly believe that this shared approach significantly enhances patient outcomes. Please join us and experience these benefits first-hand.
