See below for details on what’s included
Before your procedure
To proceed with the fixed price package, you will first need to book an initial consultation with a Gastroenterology consultant. If clinically appropriate, your consultant will recommend the procedure and refer you onto the Fixed Price Package pathway.
You will undergo a clinical pre-assessment to confirm suitability for the fixed price package. This may include screening tests such as blood tests, ECG, imaging, or an MRSA swab, depending on your individual clinical needs.
What’s not included?
- Initial consultation (booked separately)
- Tests arranged before eligibility is confirmed
- Additional treatment if your procedure becomes more complex than planned
- Unrelated investigations or medications
During your stay
The capsule endoscopy is a non-invasive test and does not require a hospital stay. You will attend your appointment to swallow a small capsule containing a camera, and be fitted with a recording device to wear during the test. You can usually leave shortly afterwards and continue most normal daily activities while the capsule captures images of your digestive system.
After your procedure
Once the recording period is complete, you will return the equipment to the hospital as instructed. The capsule will pass naturally from your body. In most cases, no additional medication or aftercare is required following the procedure.
Follow-up care
Your package includes one follow-up consultation with your consultant, who will review the images captured during the capsule endoscopy and discuss the findings with you, along with any next steps if required.
Appointment and Treatment Plan
Initial consultation
You will first book an initial consultation with a Gastroenterology consultant. During this appointment, your symptoms, medical history, and suitability for a capsule endoscopy will be assessed.
Consultant assessment
If appropriate, your consultant will recommend the diagnostic procedure and assess whether the fixed price package is suitable for your individual circumstances. If clinically appropriate, you will be referred onto the Fixed Price Package pathway.
Pre-assessment
You will then undergo a clinical pre-assessment to confirm eligibility for the package. This ensures the procedure is safe and that no additional risk factors are present.
Price confirmation
Once suitability is confirmed, your fixed price will be agreed and confirmed in writing before your procedure is booked.
Your procedure
You will attend your appointment to begin the capsule endoscopy. This involves swallowing a small capsule containing a camera, which passes naturally through your digestive system while capturing images. You will be fitted with a recording device to wear during the test and can usually return home shortly afterwards.
After your procedure
You can continue most normal daily activities during the test, following the guidance provided by your clinical team. Once the recording period is complete, you will return the equipment to the hospital. The capsule will pass naturally from your body.
Follow up care
Your consultant will review the images captured during the capsule endoscopy and discuss the results with you at your follow-up consultation.

About fixed pricing
Eligibility for Fixed Price Packages is determined through a pre-assessment process, which ensures the package is clinically suitable for your individual circumstances.
In some cases, findings during the procedure may require immediate additional treatment. If this happens, your care may move outside the fixed price package and additional costs may apply.
Where possible, this will be discussed with you in advance as part of the consent process.
