The Endoscopy Unit at Conquest Hospital is an established unit that has recently undergone a major refurbishment and our environment is compliant with JAG (Joint Advisory Group) requirements, affording us ‘centre of excellence’ status.
This allows us to undertake the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme on behalf of NHS England.
