CHEC Milton Keynes completes first endoscopy surgery Post Date : October 28, 2024 Gastroenterology , News 2 minutes read CHEC continues to supports local residents together with the NHS As one of the UK’s leading providers of community-based ophthalmology and endoscopy services, we recently celebrated a significant milestone with our Milton Keynes site treating its first endoscopy patients earlier this month. Already offering end to end ophthalmic services, the recent addition of endoscopy services strengthens our position as a trusted provider of community healthcare. Based in a state-of-the-art centre, the community care facility has a dedicated clinical team and on-site ophthalmology and endoscopy suite. Working with the NHS, CHEC increases patient choice and reduces waiting times for people in Milton Keynes and the surrounding areas by making essential treatments more accessible. “The waiting time for general outpatient gastroenterology services in Milton Keynes is currently up to 58 weeks,” said Alex Osipowicz, Hospital Manager. “By choosing CHEC, patients can access endoscopy treatment within up to four weeks. Patient choice and high quality standards of care are front and centre of what we do at CHEC, alongside an ongoing commitment to make it easier for people in our communities to access the healthcare services they need. What we find most rewarding is seeing the impact our offering has, because we know it will be a huge benefit for wellbeing in the community.” To learn more about accessing the community-based endoscopy treatments CHEC provides with the NHS, please visit chec.uk
