Mr David McArthur: General surgery

Covid-19

Hospitals are starting to offer more treatment for private patients, although a very small number will continue to provide NHS care only. Hospitals will need to catch up on all the treatment that was postponed at the start of the outbreak. If you’re due to see a Bupa recognised healthcare professional, we recommend you discuss this with them as they’ll be best placed to let you know whether there’s likely to be any impact on your treatment. Hospitals are taking extra precautionary steps to keep patients safe, such as asking them to self-isolate for 14 days before treatment and pre-admission testing.

About me

I am a Consultant General, Colorectal and Laparoscopic Surgeon. I work in the NHS at University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and practice privately at Spire Parkway Hospital, Solihull and BMI Priory Hospital, Edgbaston.

I am the Trust Lead for Colorectal Cancer and sat on the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland Council from 2016 - 2019.

Outside of work I enjoy supporting Somerset County Cricket Club, cooking, and spending time with my two children.

Specialist interests in the use of laparoscopic surgery to treat colorectal conditions, including cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. Tertiary referral practice for patients with locally advanced and recurrent rectal cancer.

Modern surgical management techniques for the treatment of haemorrhoids (piles), including Rafaelo procedure (radio frequency treatment), eXroid (electro therapy) and THD (haemorrhoidal artery ligation).
