About

Mr Schofield is a Consultant General Surgeon specialising in Colorectal Surgery who has been at the Nuffield Health Shrewsbury Hospital for over 23 years.

The majority of his work involves the investigation and treatment of rectal bleeding, ano-rectal symptoms, changes in bowel habits and abdominal pain.

His interests include the diagnosis and management of haemorrhoids, anal fissures, fistulae and pilonidal sinus as well as colorectal cancer, diverticular disease and inflammatory bowel disease.

He also treats abdominal hernias, such as inguinal or femoral hernias, incisional hernias and skin lesions or ‘lumps and bumps’.

Outpatient clinics are held every Wednesday morning and there are weekly diagnostic colonoscopy lists and operating lists for day and inpatient surgery.

Mr Schofield trained at St Bartholomew’s Hospital and his specialist colorectal training was at St Mark’s Hospital, London. He was appointed consultant general and colorectal surgeon at the Shrewsbury and Telford hospitals in May 2000.
