Patient Experience
The function of the Endoscopy Unit is to provide planned day-care endoscopic procedures and outpatient services to patients following a GP or outpatient referral or as an inpatient. The Endoscopy Unit and outpatient facility is an integral part of St James’s Hospital and provides a comprehensive diagnostic endoscopy service to over 18,000 patients annually.
The service is provided in a self-contained, dedicated day endoscopy and outpatient facility. The unit is purpose built and is the largest in the country. It boasts state of the art facilities and equipment, incorporating the ADAM traceability system for all endoscopes.
