Frimley Health is proud of its high quality endoscopy services which are provided in a 5 roomed dedicated suite at Frimley, 2 brand new rooms in our unit at Heatherwood, where we offer pH, manometry and breath testing. We have 2 procedure rooms in Lady Sobell suite (in-patient and ERCP) and an additional 2 rooms in the new modular unit at Wexham. Services provided include capsule endoscopy, single balloon enteroscopy, HALO and EMR therapy to Barrett’s and early oesophageal cancers.

We are very well supported by our anaesthetic colleagues and have access to several weekly propofol lists, to support the complex hepatobiliary and luminal work (e.g. Spyglass).

We have recently appointed 2 clinical fellows for gastro and an endoscopy fellow to help develop and deliver our endoscopy services. Excitingly, we have recently applied as an endoscopy training centre using the new state of the art facility at Heatherwood Hospital.

It provides a clear schedule of commitments, both internal and external. In addition, it includes personal objectives, including details of links to wider service objectives, and details of support required by the consultant to fulfil the job plan and the objectives.
