The Woodlands Hospital, in Darlington, is a private hospital – part of the Circle Health Group – but also devotes a large proportion of its work to easing the burden on the NHS. “The managerial and clinical teams demonstrate effective collaboration, resulting in the delivery of high-quality endoscopy service for patients.” “This is a remarkable achievement and recognition of the exceptional standards, teamwork, and dedication shown across the service,” said Mrs Dobbs. The JAG accreditation programme works with endoscopy services across the UK to improve the quality of patient care. Accreditation is awarded to services which have demonstrated they meet best practice quality standards covering all aspects of an endoscopy service.
