Patient FAQs

Can I have an endoscopy (colonoscopy/gastroscopy) without having a consultation first?

Yes, you can. This is known as an direct access endoscopy. We require that your referral clearly states your procedure, and that your referring doctor provides a patient history summary with a list of medications you are currently taking.

Where do I get my bowel preparation for colonoscopy?

You can purchase the suggested bowel preparation from your local pharmacy. We also sell them at our rooms for your convenience.

Can I drive home following a colonoscopy or gastroscopy?

No, please organise someone to collect you following your procedure. You are required to have someone with you for the following 24 hours after your procedure.
