The “Direct Access Endoscopy” pathway is the most direct route for a patient to access our endoscopy services. Any waiting time is reduced as the patient does not require an outpatient consultation appointment in advance of the procedure. The service is Consultant led.
Our Direct Access Endoscopy services are available by GP referral.
