Ward Staff

The Endoscopy Unit is managed by the Senior Sister Jo Robbins. She is supported by Sister Michelle Bullock and Sister Hilary Dowling. The team further consists of 10 Registered nurses and 2 Endoscopy Healthcare Assistants. The unit is overseen and supported by the Lead Nurse Jane Evans. As Endoscopy is a specialised area we also have regular bank staff working in the unit to cover additional lists, study and annual leave.

You will see staff within the unit wearing different types of uniforms. Set out below is the Trust uniform guide for identification.

Sister: - Navy blue dress / tunic / trousers.

Staff Nurse: - Blue and white striped dress / tunic with white piping and navy trousers.

Male Staff Nurse: - White tunic with striped epaulets and navy trousers.

Nursing Auxiliaries: - Green striped dress / tunic and navy trousers.

Domestics staff: - Green tunic and navy trousers.

Due to the nature of the work carried out in the unit you will meet members of staff both medical and nursing wearing ‘theatre blues’. This consists of a pale blue tunic and trousers. All staff can be identified by their name badges.

Clerical Staff

There is an administrative team based in the unit and this is led by Heather Spurway the Waiting List Manager. The team will work very hard to ensure that you have an appointment date and time that is suitable for you. They will try to answer any queries you may have about your appointment and ensure you have the correct information and preparatory materials necessary.
