Spire Murrayfield, Wirral Hospital Achieves JAG Accreditation, Enhancing Patient Care in Endoscopy

Spire Murrayfield, Wirral Hospital is pleased to announce that its Endoscopy Unit has been awarded the prestigious JAG accreditation by the Royal College of Physicians. This recognition is not just a mark of quality for the hospital, but a significant benefit for patients and the wider community. 

What JAG Accreditation Means for Patients

JAG (Joint Advisory Group) accreditation is awarded to endoscopy services that meet rigorous national standards for quality, safety, and patient experience. For patients, this means:

• Consistent, High-Quality Care: The accreditation ensures that every patient receives care that meets the highest standards, from initial consultation through to recovery.
• Patient Safety: Accredited units follow strict protocols to minimise risks and ensure patient safety at every stage of the endoscopy process.
• Comfort and Confidence: The assessment highlighted the hospital’s calm and supportive environment, which helps patients feel at ease during their procedures.
• Continuous Improvement: JAG accreditation requires ongoing evaluation and improvement, so patients can be confident that the service is always striving to be better. 

The hospital’s endoscopy service was also praised for its consultant-led care and excellent patient environment, with assessors noting positive feedback from patients about their experiences.

In addition, Spire Murrayfield, Wirral has been recognised with the Social Value Quality Mark, reflecting its commitment to making a meaningful difference in the community and being one of only three private healthcare providers nationally to achieve this distinction.
