New Mobile Endoscopy Unit at Sulis Hospital Aims to Reduce Waiting Lists

Paul Doyle, Transformation Director, BSW Elective Care Programme commented; “The proposed mobile endoscopy unit, which is part of the Community Diagnostic Centre NHS programme, will provide much-needed extra space for essential endoscopy procedures for NHS patients.

This will benefit patients by providing faster and more convenient access to diagnostic services with quicker results leading to significant health benefits to the community. We are expecting the first patients through the doors in November.”

The new mobile endoscopy unit, which will be managed and run by Sulis Hospital in partnership with InHealth, will offer extra parking facilities with provision for three accessible bays and two cycle spaces. This development marks an important step towards improving healthcare accessibility and reducing diagnostic waiting times in Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire.

Sulis Hospital, which is part of the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust, is JAG Accredited for Endoscopy, as inspected by the Royal College of Surgeons’ advisory group.
