Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a qualitative interview study to understand patients' priorities for different aspects of tests when considering a colonic investigation. Patients currently waiting for colon capsule endoscopy (CCE), and colonoscopy will be invited to take part. Semi-structured interviews will be carried out over the telephone following an interview guide. Recorded interviews will be transcribed and undergo thematic analysis. We will seek to publish the results of this study to inform future research and developments for colonic investigations.
