Dr Elliott is an upper gastrointestinal surgeon focused on treating patients with oesophageal and gastric cancer, with a special interest in minimally invasive surgery and cancer survivorship. She studied at Trinity College Dublin and completed a PhD in translational medicine, investigating novel strategies to enhance nutrition in oesophagogastric cancer survivorship, before completing surgical training in Ireland.

She undertook international fellowship training in robotic upper gastrointestinal cancer surgery at the University Medical Centre, Utrecht in the Netherlands, and a gastric cancer fellowship at Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea. She is currently a consultant upper gastrointestinal surgeon and Principal Investigator at the Trinity St James’s Cancer Institute.
