About Eastwood Community Endoscopy Centre LTD

Eastwood Endoscopy Centre opened its doors in 2009 and offers a range of services, including:

  • Colonoscopy - large bowel examination using fibre-optic camera
  • Flexible sigmoidoscopy - examines the rectum and lower part of the large bowel
  • Gastroscopy - examination of the oesophagus, stomach, and first section of the small intestine
  • Rectal Bleeding Clinic - flexible sigmoidoscopy followed by a proctoscopy
  • Consultation Clinic - if required, patients may see the consultant or clinical nurse specialist prior to endoscopy appointment

They are an NHS provider and are commissioned by Castle Point & Rochford Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG).

Eastwood Endoscopy Centre has recently been renovated and now offers the very latest in diagnostic endoscopic technology. All procedures, therapeutic treatments, and consultations are performed by one of the seven accredited consultant endoscopists, who are supported by a skilled nursing team and a clinical nurse specialist.

The dedicated team offers nonjudgmental, confidential, high-quality, and compassionate treatment in a caring environment. They advocate for evidence-based care and implement this in their practice.

The philosophy at the centre is to take a sympathetic understanding approach and to treat patients with dignity and respect. Health and well-being are actively encouraged, and the team always work in the best interests of their patients to guarantee their safety and well-being. They believe that good communication is key to a positive patient experience and that patients' spiritual, psychological, and social needs are just as important to them as their physical problems.

Overall, I had a positive experience. The medical team, including the Nursing staff were professional, but at the same time demonstrated an excellent caring attitude, such as making me feel at ease. The consultant was nice and explained everything. He was also ‘ down to earth’ with a good sense of humour. I would highly recommend this centre to anyone experiencing issues I’ve worked in the NHS for many years and I know the standards I would expect from a service. Therefore overall I would rate my experience as 10/10 - exceptional service Thank you.

My visit for a colonoscopy at the Eastwood Centre was very smooth. Staff were very friendly and put me at ease. During the procedure they made sure I was ok and only let me leave once happy I was ok and someone there to take me home.

My appointment was scheduled for 1:55pm. I was prepped by a lovely nurse. MY DOCTOR WASN'T EVEN THERE. He couldn't be bothered to show up and blamed traffic, which according to one of the other nurses, he'd done the day before too! Thanks to the other staff, they got me in with another doctor as I had to get back to work.

Friendly efficient staff and service. Great to have a local facility like this, rather than having to visit a main hospital. Whole process /procedure took less than an hour and was able to book an appointment within a few days.

I had a cancellation offered at short notice which was convenient for me. I had hardly sat down in the waiting room and I was ushered through to the nurse. The theatre nurses and the consultant were very reassuring and the procedure was over before I knew it! In the recovery area the nurse explained when I could eat and what to do if I had any adverse reactions and I was out of the door within the hour.

Just had my recent colonoscopy, and wow the experience was brilliant from the moment I walked in to the moment I left! A big shout out to Debbie and Linda who looked after me before and after my procedure, their level of professionalism was outstanding, and made me feel at ease throughout. Also a massive thank you to Mr Vikas Kumar, Mrs Jackie Poskitt and Nora Datt who completed my colonoscopy very well. If anyone is worried about having a colonoscopy, please don’t as you will be looked after and made at ease straight away. I would 100% come back if I need another colonoscopy in the future.
