How long is the NHS wait for Gastroscopy?

There is no single national wait — it depends on which hospital you are sent to. Gastroscopy waits vary between NHS trusts, sometimes several-fold, so the useful thing is to compare your own area. The table above ranks every English NHS trust that reports Gastroscopy, shortest median wait first, from NHS England's DM01 diagnostic figures.

Can I choose which hospital does my Gastroscopy?

For a planned, non-urgent test, often yes. In England you have a legal right, when your GP refers you, to ask to be seen at a hospital with a shorter wait — the NHS Right to Choose. Most people are never told this and go to their nearest by default. It does not apply to urgent or emergency tests.

What does "seen within 6 weeks" mean for Gastroscopy?

Six weeks is the NHS operational standard for diagnostic tests — patients should wait no longer than that. The "within 6 weeks" figure for each hospital is the share of its patients who met that standard; the median is the typical wait. Both come from NHS England's monthly DM01 statistics.

Diagnostics

NHS Gastroscopy waiting times

A gastroscopy (also called an OGD or upper GI endoscopy) is a test where a thin flexible camera is passed through the mouth to look at the gullet, stomach and the first part of the small bowel. It is used to investigate persistent indigestion or reflux, difficulty swallowing, upper abdominal pain, and anaemia. There is no single national wait: it depends heavily on which hospital you are sent to, and the spread between trusts is large. Below, every English NHS trust that reports Gastroscopy is ranked by its median wait, shortest first.

Gastroscopy waits by hospital, shortest first

Median wait and the percentage of patients seen within 6 weeks — the NHS operational standard for diagnostics. Trusts with very few patients are excluded so a median is meaningful.

Can I choose where I have my Gastroscopy?

For a planned, non-urgent diagnostic test you often can. In England you have a legal right, when your GP refers you, to ask to be seen at a different hospital — including one with a shorter wait. Most people are never told this and go to their nearest by default.

How the NHS Right to Choose works

Where these numbers come from

Waits are from NHS England's monthly Diagnostic Waiting Times and Activity (DM01) statistics, for March 2026. Each figure is the trust's median wait for that test; “within 6 weeks” is the NHS operational standard. Nothing here is medical advice — the site surfaces the published data so you and your GP can use it.
