Take a look at our wide range of endoscopy services offered at The Highfield hospital
Endoscopy at The Highfield Hospital provides a team of specially trained practitioners to work with consultant gastroenterologists, surgeons and urologists to carry out diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures.
The endoscopy services offered at Highfield hospital include:
An endoscopy is a procedure that allows a consultant to see inside the body. The endoscope itself is a thin, flexible tube with a camera and a light source on the end (as well as a surgical instrument, if you’re having an operation).
This procedure can be used to investigate unusual symptoms or treat a range of conditions. It can also be performed to carry out a biopsy, where a small tissue sample is taken for further analysis.
A colonoscopy is a procedure that allows a specialist to examine the inside of your large bowel and rectum using a flexible tube fitted with a small camera. The camera transmits detailed images to a monitor, allowing your consultant to assess the bowel lining closely.
This investigation is commonly used to explore a range of digestive symptoms and can help identify inflammation, polyps, bleeding, or other abnormalities within the bowel. It remains one of the most effective ways to assess bowel health and investigate gastrointestinal concerns.
Monday to Saturday: 8.30am–8.30pm.
To book a consultation to discuss endoscopy with a gastroenterologist near you, use our online booking system, or give us a call and one of our dedicated advisors will help you find an appointment time that suits you.
If you want to book directly into an endoscopy procedure, usually you will need a referral from a GP or other healthcare professional. Whether you are a private or NHS patient, your GP can refer you to our hospital to have your endoscopy. We will then send the results back to your GP.
If you are already a patient at The Highfield Hospital and you need an endoscopy, your consultant will refer you to our endoscopy team to arrange the procedure.
If you don’t have a referral but believe you need an endoscopy, you may be able to self-refer. Give us a call and we can advise you, and if you do need a referral we can help you get one quickly.
