In 2026, the JAG accreditation team is working to develop a set of standards and an assessment pathway designed exclusively for insourcing providers of endoscopy.

JAG invites all NHS endoscopy services to take part in the ‘NHS Endoscopy Insourcing Providers Usage Survey’. This survey has been developed to improve our understanding of how insourcing arrangements are being utilised across the NHS and to support future planning, service improvement and accreditation processes.

Insourcing continues to play a significant role in helping services manage increasing demand and maintain timely access to endoscopy procedures. To ensure that any future accreditation pathway for insourcing reflects the realities experienced by services, it is essential that we gather accurate and comprehensive information directly from providers.

We are therefore asking NHS endoscopy services, irrespective of size or current use of insourcing models, to complete the survey. Your contribution will help build a clearer national picture of current practice and will inform ongoing work related to standards, accreditation pathways and service development.

The survey can be accessed using the link below. It should take only a short time to complete, and all responses will be treated in confidence.
