Our Endoscopy units carried out over 18,000 inpatient and outpatients procedures in 2022. We currently have nine endoscopy procedure rooms across our four sites. 
Referrals can be made via GPs for straight to test (STT) OGD. All other referrals are made by Consultants, Clinical Endoscopists or after clinic appointments.
The Bowel Cancer Screening Programme was introduced into the Trust in 2011. Nurse assessment clinics are performed at the four hospital sites with colonoscopy lists being carried out at Pilgrim Hospital, Lincoln County Hospital and Grantham Hospital.
The Endoscopy Units at Lincoln, Boston, Louth and Grantham have been awarded Joint Advisory Group (JAG) accreditation for GI Endoscopy, by the Royal College of Physicians. This means that our services have been assessed and demonstrated that they meet the national quality standards, showing a safe and high quality experience. Our patients can be confident of the quality of our service, no matter which Endoscopy Unit they attend for their procedure.
