Angela Wheeler

With more than 25 years’ experience as a colorectal nurse, Angela is a Gastrointestinal Clinical Nurse Specialist at The Wellington Hospital, caring for patients undergoing colorectal and hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery.

While working as the Lead Colorectal Cancer Clinical Nurse Specialist at Barnet Hospital, part of the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, Angela was instrumental in introducing their enhanced recovery pathway for colorectal surgery patients. In 2018, she was the joint winner of the Gary Logue Colorectal Nurse Award in 2018, voted for by patients and sponsored by Bowel Cancer UK.

Liam Surlis

Gastrointestinal Clinical Nurse Specialist Liam has been instrumental in the introduction of The Wellington Hospital’s Enhanced Recovery Programme, which aids the clinical recovery of patients after operations.

His nursing background is primarily in colorectal surgery, but also includes experience on both cardiology and general surgery wards.. He enjoys the chance this role offers to work closely with patients and expand his specialist colorectal knowledge.

We’re convinced that working in close partnership leads to better outcomes for our patients. This means open, collaborative working, operating as a team for all major surgeries, and excellent communication through our weekly clinic meetings.

We also work closely with consultant anaesthetist Dr Matthew Clayton, who has a wealth of experience looking after patients undergoing robotic procedures.
