JAG accreditation for Endoscopy team

UHNM’s endoscopy unit has achieved JAG accreditation, the formal recognition that an endoscopy service has demonstrated its competence to deliver against endoscopy Global Rating Scale (GRS) standards.

Dr Srisha Hebbar, Consultant Gastroenterologist, said: “This is a huge achievement and a great example of teamwork. Lots of people have worked really hard and as a result we have achieved an even better service for our patients. The hard work now continues as we work to maintain and protect our accreditation status and to keep enhancing the care we provide.”

Obtaining JAG accreditation demonstrates that the highest quality of endoscopy services and training are provided at UHNM.

Paul Bytheway, Chief Operating Officer, said: “Getting the JAG accreditation is no mean feat. We’re already proud of the excellent service we provide to our patients, but having the accreditation makes it official that we are giving care of the highest standard. Well done to everyone on the team for continuing to work so hard, especially at a time of particular challenge.”

The JAG Accreditation Scheme is a patient-centred and workforce-focused initiative based on the principle of independent assessment against recognised standards. The scheme was developed for all endoscopy services and providers across the UK in the NHS and independent sector.
