Gastroscopy

Available through:

Gastroscopy is a procedure that allows a doctor to look inside your oesophagus (the tube that connects your mouth to your stomach), your stomach and the first part of your small intestine (duodenum).

​It’s performed using a narrow, flexible, telescopic camera called a gastroscope. The gastroscope is swallowed and passed down your oesophagus into your stomach and then into the duodenum.

​A referral for Gastroscopy is required. This can come from, our Gastroenterology service, our private GP or a consultant or GP you have previously seen regarding your symptoms.

Quite commonly, you'll be seen by a consultant Gastroenterologist in our Gastroenterology service before being referred for an Endoscopy.
