Last week, the team at Olympus hosted a virtual learning event on the topic of Transnasal Endoscopy and invited our very own Nurse Endoscopist, Lois Penketh-King, to facilitate part of the seminar.

As a JAG accredited Nurse Endoscopist, Lois is part of the faculty for Olympus and specialises in this field, so was very happy to take part and host a session on patient nasal anatomy and patient preparation.

It is evident that Lois is incredibly passionate about her role and delivering a positive patient experience – she received fantastic feedback after the event!

InHealth has been providing high-quality endoscopy services for over 10 years from both mobile and static clinics across the UK. We are the only provider in the UK to provide fully staffed, equipped, JAG accredited and CQC registered mobile units and we see more than 40,000 patients each year.

When it comes to transnasal endoscopy, we use Olympus 290 series equipment, which minimises the need for patients to have sedation and, as a result, will often see more procedures successfully completed vs. the traditional method of the oral route.
