Improving Utilisation and Efficiency of your Endoscopy Services

This one day conference has been designed to give you the opportunity to share, learn and take away the tools you need to reconfigure your endoscopy services.

Your endoscopy service is under pressure, how are you responding to:

• Increased demand? How to manage the growing pressure on services being caused by cancer waiting times, continual NHS service delivery requirements and the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme
• Calls for more improved utilisation and throughput? How will you find the resources to implement innovative structures with already stretched capacity?
• Strain on your resources? Overcome workforce shortages and relieve bottlenecks
• Demands for services in the Community? How will you find the funding and can you make the figures add up for primary care endoscopy?

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain key insight into the latest changes, exchange best practice, listen to innovative case studies and network with your peers.

Take away solutions to your key questions from this conference and learn how to:

• Deliver value: assess the scope of the challenge for endoscopy services and learn how to deliver value for money through good back office management
• Meet targets head-on: share case studies on utilising Lean to open up capacity, achieve enhanced patient flow in the face of increased service referrals and examine the impact of new targets
• Relieve bottlenecks: implement demand management protocols and support efficiency through effective preoperative assessment
• Optimise your workforce: review staffing and skill mix, and implement nurse led flexible sigmoidoscopy services to improve service utilisation
• Relocate into the community: configure services to meet the needs of your locality through primary care endoscopy
