Ask about the initial assessment
- Is a gastroenterology consultation needed before scheduling?
- Which previous reports or procedure records should the clinician review?
- How should medication and allergy information be provided securely?
Ask how instructions will reach you
Confirm the language and contact channel for provider-issued preparation, consent and aftercare information. Ask whom to contact if an instruction is unclear or your circumstances change.
Ask about attendance arrangements
- What arrival and registration time should you plan for?
- Are there companion or discharge arrangements to confirm?
- What questions should be answered before arranging return travel?
- When will the clinician explain findings and any further documents?
