    Professor Peter Irving is a Consultant Gastroenterologist at London Digestive Health, globally recognised for his expertise in gastroenterology. With over 20 years of experience, he specialises in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as irritable bowel syndrome. He is also a highly skilled endoscopist, proficient in performing gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and capsule endoscopy.

    Professor Irving trained at the University of Cambridge and London Hospital Medical College, earning his medical degree with distinction in 1995. During his postgraduate training, he developed a passion for research, particularly focusing on inflammatory bowel disease. This interest led him to Australia, where he conducted pioneering research on the low FODMAP diet at Monash University in Melbourne. Upon returning to the UK, he introduced this dietary approach, revolutionising the management of irritable bowel syndrome.

    His commitment to advancing gastroenterology is evident through his active involvement in professional committees. He has served on the committee for the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Section of the British Society of Gastroenterology and chaired the Education Committee of the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organisation. Currently, he is a member of the Education Committee of the United European Gastroenterology Foundation.

    In the academic realm, Professor Irving holds the position of Professor of Inflammatory Bowel Disease at King’s College London. His extensive publication history, with over 200 works, and authorship of three books underscore his authority and contributions to the gastroenterological community.

    Fundamentally, Professor Irving is a patient-centred gastroenterologist with a wealth of clinical experience and an in-depth understanding of his field. He is renowned for his excellent communication skills and his ability to help patients understand their options and make informed choices.
