AN INDEPENDENT regulatory body has given a clean bill of health to a Reading hospital’s endoscopy service.
The Circle Hospital on Kennet Island was given the once over by the Joint Advisory Group (JAG). They assess endoscopy suites to ensure sure they can be trusted, focused, sustainable, and offer patients the best clinical outcomes.
And the Circle’s unit is purpose built, with specialist equipment designed to help the diagnosis and treatment of gastro-intestinal conditions.
The team are delighted with the JAG verdict.
Sharon Mills, The Circle Reading’s director of clinical services, said: “We are delighted to have been awarded full JAG reaccreditation following a formal assessment of our services, standards of care and facilities.
“This was achieved after months of preparation, of the regulatory evidence to demonstrate our compliance with the JAG standards.
“This included collating clinical outcome data, quality audits and patient satisfaction surveys.
“This submission was undertaken by our dedicated Endoscopy team led by Paulina Kanak.”
And Jayne Cassidy, the executive director of the independent hospital, said the accreditation was a great achievement.
“The team at The Circle Reading Hospital are fully committed to ensure they meet the requirements to obtain this award, they are all passionate about the patients and the community they serve.”
