Fraser Cummings studied in Dundee before undertaking clinical training and research in Glasgow and Oxford. He looks after general gastroenterology including patients with upper and lower GI problems such as dyspepsia, iron deficiency anaemia, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and rectal bleeding and performs endoscopic
procedures such as gastroscopy, sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy. Fraser has a strong subspecialist interest in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (which includes Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and microscopic colitis) and spent 5 years developing clinical and research interests in Inflammatory Bowel Disease at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, prior to starting work as a Consultant Gastroenterologist and clinical lead for IBD services at Southampton General Hospital in 2009. Fraser has continued to develop research interest in the field and is a local Principle Investigator for a portfolio of clinical and basic science studies. He has strong local, regional and national collaborations and is a clinical lead for the National IBD Registry and also a member of the IBD Standards group. As a Clinical lead Fraser is responsible for developing all aspects of the clinical service. Through this experience he has come to appreciate how critical accurate data is to the provision of high quality patient care as well as informing the development of new care pathways and local services. He is interested in how we record and use data to improve outcomes for patients.
