How We Support Endoscopy Pathways

We collaborate with NHS Trusts to offer additional capacity and specialist expertise in the following areas:

  • Diagnostic Endoscopy: Enhancing Trust capacity for essential endoscopic procedures, including colonoscopies, gastroscopies, and sigmoidoscopies. Our skilled Endoscopists and Specialist Nurses ensure that diagnostic assessments meet the highest standards of care, reducing waiting times for critical diagnostic services.
  • Therapeutic Endoscopy: Providing expert support for therapeutic procedures such as polypectomies, dilations, and stenting. This ensures that Trusts can manage both diagnostic and treatment backlogs, offering timely interventions for patients in need of therapeutic care.
  • Bowel Cancer Screening: Assisting Trusts with additional capacity for bowel cancer screening, particularly during age extension rollouts of national screening programmes. Whether providing short-term support during recruitment periods or long-term capacity management, we help Trusts meet their screening targets without compromising service quality.
  • Endoscopy Outpatients: Delivering outpatient clinics for new appointments and follow-ups, with a focus on safe and effective discharge, guidance, and high-quality advice for patients. Our team of Consultants and Specialist Nurses helps reduce outpatient backlogs while maintaining patient care standards.

Our multidisciplinary teams, including Endoscopists, Nurses, Consultants, and Support Staff, work closely with Trusts to deliver efficient, high-quality services across all endoscopy pathways.
