When you phone to make your appointment the secretary will give you details. However the bowel MUST be completely clear for the examination to be safe and accurate. Therefore it is important that the instructions you are given are followed carefully.

If you have any difficulties with the preparation please contact Endoscopy Auckland on 623-2020.

Bring with you:

• Your referral letter for the procedure
• Any x-rays relevant to your procedure
• A list of current medications you are taking
• Medical insurance prior approval number/letter (if applicable)

Because you will have had sedation, it is important that you arrange for someone to drive you home following your procedure. You are not permitted, by law, to drive yourself.

On Arrival:

• Further information regarding the procedure you are having will be made available to you.
• A nurse will obtain health details from you.
• You will be asked to change into one of our gowns.

Below are printable instructions and extra information pamphlets about the procedure and preparations. They are available in Adobe PDF and Microsoft Word formats.
