About Mr Colin Elton
GMC number: 3315279
Year qualified: 1989
Place of primary qualification: University of London
Mr Colin Elton is a respected consultant general, colorectal, and laparoscopic surgeon working at Barnet Hospital and Edgware Community Hospital. He has expanded his colorectal practice to perform laparoscopic and robotic resections for colorectal cancer and rectal prolapse, introducing newer haemorrhoid procedures such as haemorrhoidal artery ligation (HALO). He also runs courses in London, teaching this procedure to other consultants. His other clinical work centres around hernia repairs, and he regularly performs laparoscopic repairs on adults and children.
Mr Elton has worked with NHS Barnet to set up a one-stop colorectal service based at Barnet Hospital and is the clinical lead for endoscopy at Barnet and Chase Farm NHS Trust. Although his surgical workload provides a busy schedule, he is also committed to training. He has recently organised an innovative teaching programme for surgical registrars to learn hernia repairs and laparoscopic cholecystectomy and has organised courses for students and junior doctors.
Mr Elton's areas of expertise include colorectal surgery, laparoscopic surgery, robotic surgery, hernia repairs, and endoscopy. He treats conditions such as colorectal cancer, rectal prolapse, and haemorrhoids. Appointed in his current role in 2005, he continues to contribute significantly to both patient care and medical education.
