The JAG census is now open and available to complete on your assessment dashboard. You will have a month to complete this, with the census closing on Sunday 14 May. You can download and print our census questions here. 

We kindly request that you provide the data requested to enable us to collect key service intelligence on activity, workforce, waiting times, and safety. We are also asking some additional questions regarding out of hours service, the endoscopy equipment you have and decontamination.

Completing the census is crucial as it provides essential information that will enable us to best support services and to help us gain an understanding of the current position of endoscopy in the UK. Data collected will be made available to all services. An example of the outputs can be seen from the data we shared from the 2021 iteration of this census.

To make data entry as easy as possible and consistent between services, the survey has been set up in a user-friendly manner. Many fields have drop-down menus to assist, and we hope that the information requested should not be difficult to provide, as much of it is used in day-to-day operational management of services or is simply derived from endoscopy reporting systems.

We are aware that gathering this information is time-consuming and may require a number of your team to contribute. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to you and your team for your contribution to this key data collection exercise.

We look forward to your support in completing the census. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the JAG team.
