Experience
Prof Stroud has worked for the Trust since 1995. He now works part-time, having partially retired in 2016.
His current work includes both seeing outpatients and performing internal telescopic examinations, including gastroscopies and colonoscopies. Prof Stroud looks after the whole range of patients with gastrointestinal problems, but has a particular interest in patients with colitis or Crohn's disease.
He's also interested in patients whose problems have led to difficulties in maintaining good nutrition, especially those with intestinal failure. Prof Stroud believes he is a caring doctor, and is good at communicating with patients of all ages and backgrounds.
In 2017, Prof Stroud was made a professor with the award of a personal chair.
