Spire Leeds Hospital awarded prestigious JAG accreditation
12 December 2023
Following an immense effort and teamwork by the endoscopy team members, Spire Leeds Hospital has achieved JAG accreditation.
This prestigious accreditation verifies that the endoscopy unit is meeting rigorous, high-quality standards which are used across the UK (and Republic of Ireland) to support improvement of endoscopy services. These standards have been developed by a multi-professional group of clinicians, managers and service users. The accreditation programme is run by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) who are dedicated to improving quality of care.
By participating in the JAG programme, Spire Leeds Hospital is ensuring that patients receive the highest quality of care in endoscopy services.
Assessors commended the endoscopy unit for providing consultant based quality care. Findings also highlighted that patients are provided a high standard of privacy and dignity throughout their endoscopy.
Sue Freeman, Theatre Manager at Spire Leeds Hospital said “We are incredibly proud of the team for their hard work and commitment throughout the JAG accreditation process. The accreditation showcases our commitment to delivering outstanding personalised care, supported by the quality framework.”
