What to expect
If you have an appointment for an endoscopy, you will receive a letter and a text message with the time of your appointment and important instructions. This may include the need for you to fast. You can take any medication you're on as normal.
On arrival, our admissions team will register you. A nurse will then take you to our Endoscopy ward. You'll be given a gown to change into.
You might be with us between 2 and 6 hours, depending on your procedure. You'll have 2 specialist endoscopy nurses and a consultant with you.
You will not be given anaesthetic for your endoscopy. However, you can choose to be sedated if you prefer.
After your procedure, you'll be taken to the recovery room where you'll be given refreshments.
Your consultant will discuss your results and any next steps with you on the same day.
