Modular Endoscopy Units

Endoscopy units are purpose-designed environments where minimally invasive procedures are performed using flexible cameras to examine the interior of the body.

These facilities typically include procedure rooms, admission and recovery areas, decontamination and scope reprocessing zones, as well as staff support spaces.

A well-planned unit is essential to support efficient patient flow, uphold infection control standards, and enable the safe and effective delivery of care.

Endoscopy Units

ModuleCo designs and builds modular endoscopy facilities to support both elective and emergency services. These can be delivered as standalone units or integrated within larger diagnostic and treatment centres.

Each facility is configured to comply with current Healthcare Building Note 10-02 guidance and tailored to suit the specific workflows of the Trust or healthcare provider. ModuleCo also offers units designed to meet the enhanced standards required for JAG accreditation.

Clinical Use

Endoscopy procedures are commonly used to investigate, diagnose, and treat conditions affecting the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems. These include colonoscopy, gastroscopy, bronchoscopy, and flexible sigmoidoscopy.

Endoscopy plays a vital role in the early detection of cancers, monitoring chronic conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, and investigating symptoms like bleeding, pain, or difficulty swallowing.

Endoscopic Services

As demand for endoscopic services in hospitals continues to rise, particularly for cancer diagnostics, NHS and private providers require modern, high-throughput facilities to meet service targets and improve patient outcomes.

Endoscopy also supports a range of therapeutic interventions, including polyp removal, stricture dilation, and stent placement, reducing the need for more invasive surgical procedures.

Endoscopy Unit Design and Build

ModuleCo’s purpose-built endoscopy units are designed to deliver high-quality, efficient diagnostic and treatment services, either as standalone facilities or integrated within larger healthcare centres. Built in compliance with HBN 10-02, our endoscopy suites provide a fully compliant, patient-focused environment that ensures seamless workflows, patient safety, and clinical excellence.

Each facility is tailored to meet the procedure capacity requirements of healthcare providers and supports a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy, bronchoscopy, and sigmoidoscopy.

Our designs incorporate specialist decontamination and sterile areas, ensuring safe handling of endoscopes and compliance with the latest infection prevention standards.

To optimise efficiency, our endoscopy units feature dedicated procedure rooms, consultation and recovery spaces, and necessary support accommodation such as decontamination rooms, staff rest areas, and administrative offices. Where required, facilities can also include a fully equipped pathology laboratory, enabling faster on-site sample analysis.

Designed for efficient patient flow, the layout provides a structured pathway from admission to procedure and recovery, minimising waiting times and enhancing the patient experience.

Our facilities offer flexibility, being deliverable as standalone units or integrated into larger diagnostic and treatment centres to meet evolving healthcare needs.

Go Modular, Not Mobile

Mobile endoscopy units often fall short of the standards achieved by facilities designed and built for permanent use, resulting in a compromised clinical working environment and a less comfortable care experience for patients during what can be a challenging procedure.

Our smaller modular endoscopy units provide a superior alternative to mobile units. Available on a temporary hire basis, they deliver high quality and full compliance with Health Building Notes (HBN), ensuring no compromise on clinical standards.

JAG Accreditation

For healthcare providers seeking JAG accreditation, ModuleCo offers facilities designed to meet these enhanced standards. While HBN 10-02 establishes the foundational requirements for endoscopy unit design, JAG accreditation goes further by assessing patient care quality, decontamination processes, operational efficiency, and training provisions.

Achieving JAG accreditation demonstrates a commitment to delivering the highest standards in endoscopy services, ensuring facilities not only comply with clinical best practice guidelines but also prioritise patient dignity and respect.

ModuleCo provides the option of JAG-accredited facilities, working closely with clients to incorporate design elements that exceed standard HBN 10-02 recommendations. This includes optimised patient pathways, enhanced decontamination and recovery areas, and strict adherence to the latest clinical governance and safety standards.
