Tests | Treatment | Drug Monitoring | Disease Monitoring

In order to assess your disease we may carry out a number of different tests to determine the best treatment for you.

These include;

  • Blood sampling / Stool testing
  • Colonoscopy / Endoscopy
  • Scans / X-rays / MRI

You can watch our video on having a colonoscopy which explains the procedure, why we do it and what to expect.

The second video covers bowel preparation for colonoscopy. Translations of this video are available here.
