About Mr Martin Stuart Wadley

Personal Profile

Mr Wadley is a highly experienced Consultant Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Surgeon with a main private clinical practice at Droitwich Spa Hospital. He also works within the NHS at Worcestershire Royal Hospital and within the Specialist Upper GI Unit at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital.

He graduated from the University of Sheffield Medical School in 1990 and completed his surgical training across London, Nottingham, and the West Midlands. During this time, he gained extensive experience in both general surgery and specialist upper gastrointestinal surgery.

He was appointed Consultant Surgeon at Worcestershire Royal Hospital in 2002 and has been part of the Specialist Upper GI Unit at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital since 2006. In these roles, he manages a wide range of complex upper gastrointestinal conditions, providing both elective and emergency surgical care.

His key clinical interests include upper GI surgery, with a specialist focus on the diagnosis and treatment of upper GI cancers, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gallstone disease, and obesity-related conditions. He has a strong focus on minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery, which supports reduced pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery times for patients.

He has significant expertise in laparoscopic (keyhole) procedures, including gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy), hernia repair, and anti-reflux surgery. In recent years, he has further developed advanced minimally invasive techniques for the treatment of oesophageal and gastric cancers, offering patients access to modern surgical options designed to improve outcomes and recovery.

Through his private practice at Droitwich Spa Hospital, Mr Wadley provides comprehensive, patient-centred care across all aspects of upper GI surgery, combining extensive consultant experience with advanced laparoscopic techniques to deliver safe, effective, and high-quality surgical treatment.
