Digestive Health

Gastroenterology is the branch of medicine that looks at diseases of the oesophagus (gullet), stomach, small and large intestines (bowel), liver, gallbladder, and pancreas.

We offer three types of comprehensive care packages. These include Clarity Consult: £495, Clarity Investigate: £1250 and Clarity Complete: £2295

If digestive symptoms are concerning you, Clarity Consult gives you access to a gastroenterology specialistwho can review your symptoms and help determine what should happen next.

Some digestive symptoms need more than an initial consultation. Clarity Investigate brings specialist assessment, appropriate diagnostic investigation and consultant follow-up together within one clearer pathway.

Clarity Complete is designed for patients who may require endoscopic investigation or treatment as part of their digestive care pathway. Your specialist assessment, agreed procedure, consultant follow-up and related aftercare are brought together within one package.

Everyone’s symptoms and clinical needs are different. Our care options are designed to give you a clear starting point, whether you need a specialist consultation, further investigation or a more complete diagnostic and treatment pathway. We offer three types of care packages, that include Clarity Consult, Clarity Investigate and Clarity Complete.

A gastroscopy should not be painful, although it may feel uncomfortable. You may be offered throat spray or sedation to help you feel more comfortable, and the team will explain what to expect before the procedure begins.

If a colonoscopy is recommended, you will receive preparation instructions before your appointment. This usually includes changes to what you eat and drink and taking bowel preparation medicine so the specialist can see the bowel lining clearly.

Yes. A gastroenterologist can help assess symptoms such as stomach cramps, bloating, diarrhoea and constipation, check for other possible causes, and recommend a practical management plan. This may include lifestyle advice, dietary support, medication or further tests if needed.

Please seek medical advice if you have blood in your stool, bleeding from your bottom, black stools, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, ongoing vomiting, severe abdominal pain, persistent diarrhoea or constipation, or a change in bowel habit that is unusual for you.

Your consultant will advise whether a colonoscopy, gastroscopy or another test is appropriate based on your symptoms and medical history. If an endoscopy is recommended, the team will explain preparation, comfort options, risks and what to expect before you proceed.

Our gastroenterology services cover London and the surrounding home counties, including Swindon, Wiltshire, Basingstoke, Hampshire, Worthing, West Sussex, Stevenage, Hertfordshire, Wandsworth, and Ilford.

Not everyone needs an endoscopy. Your consultant will only recommend it when it is clinically useful, and will explain the benefits, preparation, comfort options and alternatives before any procedure takes place.

Your consultant will ask about your symptoms, health history, medication and any previous test results. They may recommend further investigations or begin treatment straight away if appropriate.

This depends on how you are accessing care and whether you are using medical insurance. If you are unsure, our appointments team can explain the options before you book.
