You will also be required to send scopes away for service and repair.
The Endoscopy Unit provides a service to both outpatients and in-patients undergoing Gastroscopy, EUS, Flexible Sigmoidoscopy, Colonoscopy, Bronchoscopy EBUS and PEG insertion. The unit is currently open 7 days a week including weekends and bank holidays.
