Decontamination Standards for flexible EndoscopesNational Endoscopy ProgrammeUpdated March 2008 National Endoscopy Programme - Decontamination Standards for flexible Endoscopes01 IntroductionProviding an effective endoscope decontamination service within a safe environment is an essential requirement for every Endoscopy unit in England. (DoH Health Act, 2006) The guidance and standards for decontamination practice are available in various forms, from a number of agencies. In response to requests from the service, the NHS National Endoscopy Programme established a working group to design a quality assurance tool that would encompass all the decontamination standards in a format which would be relevant to the end users. This tool should be used by Endoscopy teams to self assess their decontamination environment and processes against National standards. This document has been developed to support the safety item of the Global Rating Scale (GRS) and is used to assess local practice as part of the JAG Accreditation process.
