Advice if you are on long-term steroids, or have adrenal insufficiency

Patients undergoing endoscopic investigations are at an increased risk of adrenal crises due to prolonged fasting for their endoscopic investigations. We will send you information when we send you an appointment letter with advice on how to manage this. It is really important that you read the information that is sent to you.

If you have adrenal insufficiency and were not sent information on how to manage this, then please ring 0151 604 7095.
