Amy Buckley is a specialist dietitian in IBD with extensive experience across the NHS and academic research. She is currently completing a PhD at King’s College London, investigating the role of diet and the gut microbiome in IBD activity and treatment response.
She holds a first-class Master’s degree in Nutrition and a Postgraduate Diploma in Dietetics from King’s College London. Amy began her career at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, where she specialised as an upper gastrointestinal surgical dietitian over four years. She has extensive experience managing patients pre and post oesophagectomy, gastrectomy, hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery as well as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. She then moved into research, working as a dietitian on the pioneering ADDapt Trial at King’s College London – a randomised controlled trial exploring the impact of a low-emulsifier diet in Crohn’s disease. Through this work and her PhD, Amy has developed specialist expertise in both implementing the low-emulsifier diet and conducting detailed dietary analysis in people with Crohn’s disease.
Amy is FODMAP-trained through King’s College London and expertly supports patients to manage symptoms of functional GI disorders such as diarrhoea, constipation, bloating and reflux. She has a strong interest in women’s health and fertility, having completed the Fertility Nutrition Course for Healthcare Professionals. Her approach combines motivational interviewing with highly personalised, evidence-based care to help patients get the most out of their treatment.
