Dr Haifa Eldew

Dr Haifa Eldew is an experienced Consultant Physician in General and Internal Medicine in London, with a specialist clinical interest in hepatology and liver health. She provides comprehensive assessment and treatment for adults with a broad range of acute, chronic and complex medical conditions, including patients whose symptoms involve several body systems or where the underlying diagnosis is not immediately clear.

Her practice is particularly suited to patients seeking an experienced internal medicine consultant for complex or difficult-to-diagnose conditions. Dr Eldew takes a thorough, investigative approach to symptoms such as chronic fatigue, unexplained symptoms, gastrointestinal complaints, abnormal blood tests and complex multisystem presentations, bringing together the different aspects of a patient's medical history to identify potential causes and develop an appropriate management plan.

Within General and Internal Medicine, Dr Eldew manages a wide range of medical presentations, including acute medical conditions, chronic disease, metabolic syndrome, chronic fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms and ambulatory care conditions that may otherwise require assessment through acute medical or Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) services.

Alongside her work in general medicine, Dr Eldew has extensive experience and a particular interest in liver disease and hepatology. She assesses patients with abnormal liver function tests, fatty liver disease / MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease), chronic liver disease and autoimmune liver conditions. Her approach includes assessment of metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors associated with fatty liver disease, where appropriate.

Dr Eldew also has experience in the assessment of liver fibrosis using tools such as FIB-4 and FibroScan, helping patients better understand their liver health and whether further investigation, monitoring or specialist input may be required.

Dr Eldew is also an accredited FAMUS (Focused Acute Medicine Ultrasound) trainer and is actively involved in clinical education and the development of medical teams. She has contributed to service development within acute medicine, including pathways designed to support earlier assessment, treatment and admission avoidance, while working collaboratively with colleagues across acute medicine, gastroenterology and other specialties.

Known for her calm and clear communication style, Dr Eldew places strong emphasis on ensuring patients understand their condition, investigations and treatment options. Her approach combines detailed clinical assessment with evidence-based medicine and personalised care, with the aim of providing clarity and a practical way forward for patients with both straightforward and complex medical concerns.
