Our highly trained staff provide care on an individual basis to encourage a speedy recovery and wellbeing.

Struggling with gastroparesis or digestive issues?

Persistent nausea, vomiting, or difficulty swallowing can disrupt your life. Our UK-based independent clinic offers expert care for stomach and oesophagus conditions, including gastroparesis.

Eating and drinking are more than just basic necessities – they are essential for your health and daily life. Persistent nausea, vomiting, heartburn, or difficulty swallowing can make even simple meals stressful, affecting your energy and wellbeing.

To address these challenges, we created one of the UK’s first independent clinics dedicated to advanced treatments for the upper digestive tract. Our team combines extensive experience with the latest medical expertise in managing functional disorders of the stomach and oesophagus, including conditions that affect stomach motility.

Living with gastroparesis can be overwhelming. We help you explore treatment options.

We have a particular focus on gastroparesis (gastric paralysis). As a certified digestive centre, we also offer gastric pacemaker therapy as an additional treatment option. Learn more about this here: Enterra® Therapy.

Mr. Nick Boyle

Mr Nick Boyle

Nick Boyle, founder of RefluxUK, is recognized as one of the UK’s foremost specialists in the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). He leads a highly experienced multi-disciplinary team and works across several renowned medical centres — including King Edward VII’s Hospital in London’s Harley Street area, Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in the City, and Nuffield Tunbridge Wells Hospital in the southeast.

As a consultant surgeon, Nick focuses on laparoscopic, upper gastrointestinal, and reflux surgery. His surgical training took place at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospitals in London, followed by advanced laparoscopic training at the Minimal Access Therapy Training Unit in Guildford. A graduate of the University of Southampton, he also earned a Master of Surgery from the University of London and is a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He has held a consultant post since 2000.

Over the years, Nick has continued to refine his expertise, establishing the UK’s first dedicated multidisciplinary reflux team in 2013. He introduced innovative surgical procedures such as LINX® and RefluxStop™, performing the latter for the first time in the UK. His research has explored the link between the gut microbiome and reflux symptoms, leading to the first published evidence that correcting microbial imbalances can reduce reflux. With numerous publications and international recognition, he regularly speaks at medical conferences worldwide and was elected President of the European Foregut Society in 2024.

In 2015, Nick founded RefluxUK to make the multidisciplinary care model accessible to more patients and improve outcomes for those living with chronic reflux and gastroparesis. Nick and his team were among the first to use Enterra® Therapy to treat gastroparesis in the UK.
