What if I need to communicate during the procedure?

Your consultant and physiologist will guide you through the endoscopy and check on you throughout. If the test is performed while you’re awake, you’ll be able to communicate using simple hand signals (for example, by raising your hand if you’d like them to pause). The team will explain this before starting, so you feel fully in control. Our specialists move gently and at your pace, and they’ll stop immediately if you feel any discomfort or need a short break.
