Por qué es un doctor de primer nivel/Professional statement/Perché è un dottore di prim’ordine
Dr Rami Sweis is a leading consultant gastroenterologist with advanced experience in both upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) disorders as well as advanced endoscopy. He has extensive expertise working with a spectrum of conditions including swallowing problems (dysphagia), reflux disease, endoscopic treatments, stomach problems, constipation, diarrhoea and oesophagal problems.
After obtaining his Bachelors in Biology and Psychology in 1994 from the University of Illinois in Chicago, Dr Sweis went on to complete his primary medical qualification at the University of Edinburgh in 1999. He also became a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh (RCPE). His training took place in various prestigious medical institutions, including King's College Hospital and Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals where he also achieved his PhD in 2012.
Being highly experienced in upper GI physiology and an advanced endoscopist, Dr Sweis is in the unique position to offer patients an alternative approach to manage many GI conditions, from behavioural modification therapy to complex endoscopic treatment. He also runs the Upper GI Physiology Unit at both the OneWelbeck Clinic and University College London Hospital (UCLH).
As well as committing to the highest possible patient care, he also dedicates his career to teaching future specialists - he was awarded the Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in 2018 and holds an Associate Professor position at University College London (UCL).
He is also the President of the Association of GI Physiologists (AGIP) and is a member of the Oesophageal section of the British Society of Gastroenterology. At UCLH, he is part of the Upper GI Therapeutic Endoscopy team and is also the Upper GI Physiology Lead.
Furthermore, Dr Sweis is actively involved in research that aims to expand the knowledge and treatment capabilities for conditions such as oesophageal motility disorders such as achalasia, reflux disease including Barrett’s oesophagus as well as eosinophilic oesophagitis. He has co-authored national and international guidelines in all of these fields.
