Dr. David Aldulaimi
David is a consultant physician and gastroenterologist. He was educated in London. As a medical student he developed an interest in neuroscience and was appointed as a research student studying the anatomical basis of memory. He graduated in Medicine from the University of London, University College and the Middlesex Hospital, in 1992.
He received his general medical training in London and then specialised in general medicine and gastroenterology in the West Midlands. For 2 years he was a research fellow at Walsgrave Hospital and the University of Warwick, studying oesophageal and inflammatory bowel disease, leading to the award of an M.D.
His clinical research investigated the long term outcome for patients diagnosed with oesophageal cancer. His laboratory research investigated the aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease, the molecular basis of inflammation and the effects of immunosuppressant therapy.
This research has been presented at local and national conferences and published as original articles in internationally peer-reviewed journals. He has also been invited to write reviews for international scientific journals regarding the molecular biology or Barrett’s oesophagus and the aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease.
He completed training in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of oesophageal, coeliac, colorectal and inflammatory bowel disease prior to being appointed as a consultant in 2005.
His ongoing clinical interests include all aspects of luminal gastroenterology (oesophageal, coeliac, colorectal, the irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease). His academic interests include supporting local and national clinical trials investigating the aetiology and treatment of oesophageal diseases and supervising collaborative clinical and laboratory studies investigating the pre-operative assessment of cancer and the molecular basis of inflammation.
He is a member of the following organisations:
- British Medical Association
- British Society of Gastroenterology
- Royal College of Physicians
- European Society of Nutrition and Metabolism
- European Crohn’s and Colitis Organistaion

Mr Paul Super
F.R.C.S, Laparoscopic Anti-reflux surgery
Mr Paul Super dedicates his practice to upper gastro-intestinal laparoscopic surgery. He is based at Heart of England NHS Trust where there is a very large oesophageal practice.
He performs 3-5 laparoscopic anti-reflux procedures weekly as well as other advanced laparoscopic procedures on the stomach and oesophagus and has been performing this surgery in Birmingham since 1999.
The majority of his anti-reflux surgery is performed as a day-case procedure.
He has a personal experience of over 700 cases of anti-reflux surgery alone.
He is a Fellow of the Royal College Surgeons, and holds memberships of the General Medical Council and Association of Upper GI Surgeons.
He presents widely on laparoscopic anti-reflux surgery at national and International meetings and is highly respected for his contribution to work in this field.
Dr. K. A. Nathavitharana
Dr. Nathavitharana qualified with 1st class Honours from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka in 1990. He trained in paediatric gastroenterology in the UK and completed a PhD in mucosal immunology in 1998.
Dr Nathavitharana was Clinical Lecturer in the Institute of Child Health, University of Birmingham for five years.
He has been a substantive NHS Consultant in paediatric gastroenterology and nutrition since 1995 to date.
He has an interest in wide-ranging paediatric gastrointestinal problems, including oesophageal disorders and food allergy.
