Yesterday saw the first patients attend appointments at our new £15m state of the art Endoscopy Unit at CIC.
Rachael Scott, Endoscopy Pre-assessment Lead, said: "Seeing our first patients in the new unit has been a big moment for all of us. The space is bright, calm, and purpose-built, which really helps us give patients the best possible care from the moment they walk through the door. Patients we’ve seen today have commented on how impressive the new unit is.
"It’s also made a huge difference for us as staff. Having the right space and facilities means we can work more efficiently, communicate better as a team, and focus more on our patients. It’s a really positive environment to be in, and I’m excited to have my first coffee in our new staff room!"
This new Endoscopy Unit will be able to treat more patients, helping to reduce our waiting lists and improve timely diagnosis, particularly for cancers. It includes five clinical rooms and an outpatient area, enabling more patients to receive endoscopy procedures locally.
