Abdominal symptoms such as rectal bleeding, change in bowel habit, abdominal pain are common, distressing and can be worrying for patients.
In most cases the symptoms are not due to serious underlying problems (haemorrhoids, fissures, IBS) however, in some patients serious diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (Ulcerative Colitis/ Crohn’s disease), or bowel cancer can be the underlying problem.
Early diagnosis and treatment helps to reduce morbidity and mortality from these conditions. In the case of bowel cancer, screening for detection of polyps (and then subsequent removal) can also prevent the development of this condition.

If you are self-paying you don’t need a referral from your GP for a consultation. You can simply refer yourself* and book an appointment.
If you have health insurance (e.g. Bupa, Axa Health, Aviva), you will need to contact your insurer to get authorisation before any treatment, and in most cases you will also require a referral letter from your GP.
If you are not registered with a GP, we have an in-house private GP practice you can use. Alternatively, we can suggest the most appropriate course of action for you to take, given your location and individual circumstances.
*Please note – for investigations such as X-rays and MRIs, a referral will be required. However, we may be able to arrange this for you through our on-site private GP.
