Endoscopy

How our endoscopy units achieved JAG accreditation

The endoscopy unit is based at St Helier Hospital and offers a range of gastro-intestinal diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.

This is a busy unit with a large team of staff comprising 12 nurses, 6 healthcare assistants and supported by a team of 7 administrative staff.

Approximately 130 procedures are performed each week across the following:

  • Colonoscopy

  • OGD

  • Flexible sigmoidoscopy

In addition, the unit works with colleagues in other departments to offer:

  • Bronchoscopy

  • ERCP and other procedures that need x-ray control

The full range of endoscopy procedures are also carried out in our day surgery unit at Epsom Hospital.

A satellite service offering flexible sigmoidoscopy and OGD is offered at the Nelson Hospital offering patients more flexibility and treatment choices.
