Patients may be eligible for a direct referral for a procedure without the need for a prior full consultation with a gastroenterologist.

Direct Access Endoscopy is ideal for patients needing urgent intervention, those with clearly identified or diagnosed symptoms, and those who are medically low-risk.

Every referral is carefully reviewed by our team. If deemed appropriate, the patient will be scheduled for a procedure at their preferred location. Prior to the procedure, a pre-operative telehealth appointment will be arranged to discuss the details and obtain consent.

This approach can significantly reduce the waiting time for a procedure, as it eliminates the need for a preliminary consultation.
