Booking your procedure
Initial Referral
When your referral is received, the endoscopy booking team add you to the appropriate waiting list. The waiting list you are added to depends on the procedure that has been requested and the reason for the procedure.
Vetting the Referral
All referrals are vetted by our skilled nurses and/or doctors to check they are accurate and appropriate, and then the endoscopy booking team will contact you to make your appointment.
Booking your appointment
We will always try and contact you by telephone. This will enable us to agree an appropriate time and date for your procedure to take place.
If we cannot reach you via telephone, we will send you a letter with your appointment.
If your appointment is not suitable, please contact our admin team on 01908 996 905, to rebook at a time that is convenient to you.
Pre-Procedure Information
Before your procedure can go ahead, there are certain pre-requisites that we need to follow to ensure your procedure goes as smoothly as possible. This includes (but is not limited to):
- Stopping certain medications
- Fasting Instructions
- Bowel preparation instructions
- Attendance
We offer a range of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy services in Milton Keynes; our services are always in high demand. If circumstances change and you cannot make your agreed appointment, please contact us as soon as possible so your appointment can be rescheduled, and we can allocate your existing appointment to another patient.
Cancelling or rescheduling your appointment may delay your procedure significantly depending on what is required, so please try to make every effort to attend.
If you do not attend your appointment without letting us know we will let your doctor know, this may mean that you are discharged from our care.
