Study hypothesis
Proposing an alternative fast track route of treatment. Patients suspected of having an oesophageal disorder and/or GORD would be referred via the consultant surgeon/physician/upper GI nurse practitioner or GP.
Patients would initially undergo an endoscopy. After an endoscopy has excluded any serious and significant pathology, the technician would carry out oesophageal manometry and 24 hour pH studies. After performing the studies the technician will then make a diagnosis, based upon the results. Upon an abnormal diagnosis, of oesophagical function or GORD made, patients will then be asked to take part in the proposed study and will be randomised to either consultant or technician mediated treatment.
Resources: investigator's time. Per patient: one hour of investigator's time. Pharmacy department will issue medication.
