The Endoscopy Unit at Conquest Hospital is an established unit that has recently undergone a major refurbishment to make our environment compliant with JAG (Joint Advisory Group) requirements.
This means along with Eastbourne DGH we will be able to apply for JAG accreditation affording us ‘centre of excellence’ status.
This allows us to undertake the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme on behalf of NHS England.
