Is this right for me?
Who this is for
You don't need a diagnosis to book. Your consultant confirms the right route at your first appointment.
A change in bowel habit
Persistent diarrhoea, constipation or a change that has lasted more than a few weeks.
Rectal bleeding
Blood in your stool or on wiping that needs a proper look rather than a guess.
Unexplained anaemia or weight loss
Iron deficiency or weight loss with no obvious cause.
Family history or surveillance
A family history of bowel cancer or polyps, or a previous finding that needs re-checking.
How it works
From enquiry to treatment
What happens between seeing the price and your procedure.
- 1
Book a £250 consultation
Tell us your symptoms. You do not need a GP referral, though bringing any previous results is useful.
- 2
Consultant assessment
Your consultant decides whether colonoscopy is the right test, or whether a flexible sigmoidoscopy or gastroscopy would suit you better.
- 3
Bowel preparation
You receive clear written instructions on diet and the bowel preparation drink in the days before.
- 4
The procedure
A flexible camera examines the whole large bowel and rectum. Polyps can often be removed and biopsies taken at the same time.
- 5
Results and follow-up
Your consultant explains what was found. If biopsies were taken, you are told when to expect the results.
Recovery
Aftercare and going home
Colonoscopy is a day-case procedure. You go home the same day.
If you have sedation or a general anaesthetic, you will need someone to take you home and should not drive for the rest of the day.
Our going-home guidance covers what to leave with, driving and supervision after anaesthetic, and who to call if you are concerned.
Paying
Self-funded, insured or cross-border
Most patients on this pathway pay for themselves, but you can also use private health insurance, and patients from the Republic of Ireland may be able to claim reimbursement.
