Dr Charles Grimley

I graduated from Manchester University in 1988 and after junior medical posts in Lancashire moved to the West Midlands to complete my training in gastroenterology. I was appointed as a consultant in East Lancashire in 1999. During training, my research interests included the study of gastric acid secretion and intragastric acidity. I also studies the effect of Helicobacter pylori in cancers of the oesophagus and stomach. I undertook additional training to become a bowel cancer colonoscopy screener (BCSP) in 2008 and I have taken a leading role in advanced therapeutic endoscopy for the local NHS trust. I provide treatment for early cancer and dysplasia in the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum and I tackle large polyps in the colon. I am endoscopy trained and currently audit lead for the trust and I am passionate about the quality of endoscopy. I was the medical adviser to the local Crohn’s and Colitis UK group from its inauguration in 2007 until 2015. Outside medicine I enjoy classical music, singing and I have a young family who keep me busy.
