That depends. Some blood tests, such as allergy tests, can be booked directly. However, more detailed tests, that require expert analysis in line with the symptoms you are experiencing, need clinical oversight. If you are are interested in a specific blood for your gastrointestinal issues, please book a first appointment with our consultant gastroenterologist who can then advise on what the best blood test for you. Many gastrointestinal disorders share similar symptoms, so the guidance of a gastroenterologist is needed to make sure you get the more suitable test.
Transnasal gastroscopy (TNG) is a minimally invasive alternative to conventional oral gastroscopy that uses an ultra-thin endoscope passed through the nose rather than the mouth. A key benefit is improved patient comfort: the nasal route largely avoids stimulation of the tongue and oropharynx, significantly reducing the gag reflex. With an oral gastroscopy, many patients will opt for sedation to make the procedure more tolerable, but this comes with some risks, including complications of having a sedative, a longer recovery time and not being able to resume normal activities for a day or so. A TNG is also better tolerated in patients with anxiety or cardiorespiratory comorbidities, where sedation may pose additional risk.

Yes. Our doctors can refer patients directly into NHS pathways when appropriate, including urgent fast-track and two-week-wait referrals. If you need to have ongoing medication or other tests, and would like these carried out by the NHS, we can write to your GP to request this. Please note, there is no guarantee they will agree to ongoing treatment on the NHS.
