Endoscopy

As an endoscopy team we aim to:

• Make your visit to the unit as relaxed and as dignified as possible
• Keep you fully informed of what is happening at all times to enable you to make informed choices
• Provide an accessible, timely and high-quality patient-centred service
• Provide you with a high standard of care based on current recommendations and protocols

Our philosophy

The staff in the Endoscopy Team believe that patients have the right to receive specialised nursing care that is evidence based, reflects the personal needs of the individual and is provided within a safe and calm environment. 

The primary aim of the department is to provide a high quality, comprehensive endoscopy facility for all our patients. We aim to ensure that the service offered allows for sufficient capacity and facilities to offer our patients timely and appropriate care. 

We provide you with a full report of your procedure before you leave our unit. This means that you will be fully informed of the outcome of your procedure. We will also let you know if you need to have any further investigations.

We welcome patient feedback and undertake a regular patient satisfaction survey. We also encourage patients to complete the Friends and Family Test.
