Endoscopy
Unit
Weston General Hospital Endoscopy Unit:
Currently located on the second floor next to theatres, our endoscopy unit
provides endoscopic tests to examine the stomach (gastroscopy), colon
(colonoscopy & flexible sigmoidoscopy), bile pipes (ERCP) and bladder (cystoscopy)
as well as the lungs (bronchoscopy). We also provide breath tests for
Helicobacter pylori (the ulcer-causing stomach infection).
We have developed information sheets and consent forms to guide patients through
their endoscopy. We also provide user-friendly test results for patients to take
away after their endoscopy. Examples of these are available by clicking on the
links below.
Our dedicated and hard-working team are enthusiastic about developing the
service and our new unit is due to open early in 2008. This will provide a
state-of the-art facility with two rooms dedicated to these important
diagnostic services.
