Dr. Lisa Sharkey

Dr Lisa Sharkey is a UK-trained Consultant Gastroenterologist with over a decade of experience in complex digestive disorders and nutritional medicine. She graduated with first-class honours from Cambridge University and completed her specialist training in gastroenterology across the East of England, including a research fellowship focused on intestinal failure and liver disease.

Dr Sharkey specialises in managing patients with serious nutritional challenges, including those requiring feeding tube support (enteral nutrition) or intravenous nutrition (parenteral nutrition). She treats a wide range of conditions: coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's and ulcerative colitis), short bowel syndrome, chronic constipation, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and digestive problems caused by cancer treatment, organ transplant or cystic fibrosis. Her approach combines evidence-based medicine with a strong focus on nutrition education and rehabilitation to help patients regain independence.

Dr Sharkey is particularly suited for patients with complex or rare digestive conditions, those requiring long-term nutritional support, or anyone seeking expert guidance on how diet and nutrition affect their GI health. She is committed to patient-centred care and has earned consistent five-star patient feedback.
