Digestive Diagnosis & Planned Advice

At our hospital, we offer a comprehensive Digestive Diagnosis and Planned Advice service designed to accurately identify and manage a wide range of gastrointestinal symptoms and conditions. Whether you’re experiencing persistent digestive discomfort, unexplained changes in bowel habits, or require follow-up care after previous tests, our team of expert gastroenterologists is here to help.

What Is Digestive Diagnosis?

Digestive diagnosis refers to the thorough evaluation of the digestive system, including the oesophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Our goal is to uncover the root cause of symptoms through detailed clinical assessments, advanced diagnostic tools, and specialist-led consultations.

Common Reasons for Digestive Diagnosis

Patients are often referred or self-refer to our service for:

Persistent abdominal pain or bloating
Changes in bowel habits (constipation, diarrhoea)
Blood in stool or black stools
Heartburn or acid reflux
Unexplained weight loss
Nausea or vomiting
Family history of gastrointestinal disease

Diagnostic Services Offered

We provide a range of advanced diagnostic tests tailored to each patient’s symptoms:

Gastroscopy – to investigate the oesophagus, stomach, and duodenum
Colonoscopy and Sigmoidoscopy – to view the colon and detect inflammation, polyps, or cancer
Combined Gastroscopy & Colonoscopy – for complete upper and lower GI tract assessment
CT and MRI Scans – for detailed imaging of the digestive organs
Ultrasound and blood tests – to screen for liver function, infection, or inflammation
Stool sample analysis – to detect infections, bleeding, or digestive disorders

Planned Advice & Follow-Up

Following a diagnosis, our consultants provide:

A clear explanation of findings
A tailored management plan
Advice on dietary and lifestyle changes
Referral to relevant specialists (e.g., surgeons, dietitians)
Follow-up appointments and ongoing monitoring, if needed

We ensure that every patient leaves with a comprehensive understanding of their condition and a clear pathway forward.

Arranging To Visit A Private GP

If you are experiencing any signs or symptoms, schedule an appointment with Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital for expert evaluation and treatment.. Make an appointment with one of our private GPs who can refer you to our specialist dermatologists. Appointments are available to everyone and can often be booked for the same day. There is no need to be registered with our The Royal Buckinghamshire Hospital, or live locally.

If you have insurance which covers a GP visit, we can in most cases invoice the insurer directly. Where you are paying directly, the cost for a 30 minute consultation is £100.

Any additional costs will always be discussed.
