Endoscopy Services
Caring for your digestive health with safe, accurate, minimally invasive care
Our Endoscopy Unit provides procedures that allow doctors to see the digestive tract using a thin, flexible camera. This helps diagnose symptoms, treat problems on the spot (such as removing polyps), and prevent disease—often without major surgery. Our team of gastroenterologists and specially trained endoscopy nurses prioritize safety, comfort, and dignity at every step.
We offer a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including:

What to Expect
Referral & Booking
Your family doctor may refer you, or you can contact our clinic directly to book an appointment with our specialist.
Pre-assessment
Before your procedure, the doctor will review your medical history, medications, and allergies. You will also receive clear preparation instructions.
Procedure Day
- On arrival, our team will check your details and ensure you are comfortable.
-
The procedure usually takes:
- OGDS (Gastroscopy): about 20–30 minutes
- Colonoscopy: about 30–60 minutes (longer if polyps are removed)
- Sedation will be given so you remain relaxed and pain-free.
- You will be closely monitored throughout.
Recovery
- After the procedure, you will rest in our recovery area for about 1–2 hours until you are fully awake.
- Please arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you home, as you should not drive or go home alone after sedation.
Results & Follow-up
- Preliminary findings are usually shared on the same day.
- If a biopsy is taken, the formal report will be ready within a few working days, and your doctor will explain the next steps.
How to Prepare for Colonoscopy (Bowel Preparation)
A clean colon is essential for accurate results.
One Day Before the Procedure
- Eat a low-fibre diet: porridge, white bread, fish, eggs, or potatoes.
- Avoid fruits, vegetables, oats, wholemeal bread, red meat, nuts, and carbonated drinks.
Bowel Prep Guide:
- Take the bowel solution as prescribed by your doctor.
- Good prep = clear/yellowish liquid stools.
- Poor prep = cloudy or dark stools.
Important Reminders
- Purging usually starts within 1–2 hours of drinking the solution.
- Finish all prescribed doses to ensure your bowel is fully cleaned.
- Stop all clear fluids at least 2 hours before your procedure (if sedation is planned).
- Continue regular medications only if advised by your doctor (blood thinners and diabetes medication may need adjustment).
