Why Online Gastroenterology Is Needed in Ireland Right Now
Ireland's endoscopy and colonoscopy waiting lists have deteriorated sharply. As of end-May 2026, almost 41,000 people were waiting for a GI endoscopy appointment. Even urgent cases, which HSE guidance says should be seen within 28 days, are badly backlogged: in 2025, 6,660 patients waited over four weeks for an urgent colonoscopy — an 83.8% increase on 2024 — with some waits stretching to 60 days.
While teleconsultation can't replace an endoscopy or colonoscopy, gastroenterology also involves a great deal of ongoing consultation work that adapts well to a remote model: symptom triage, review of test results, management of chronic conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or reflux disease, and treatment adjustment. Notably, the HSE itself has already begun procuring outpatient gastroenterology teleconsultation services through specific tenders to help address these waiting lists — a clear signal of where the system sees remote care adding real value.
Online gastroenterology is one real way to help ease this pressure — and you can be part of it.
