British experts to test hospital’s cancer screening

A GROUP of medical experts from Britain will put Ennis Hospital under the microscope to ensure it meets all the best clinical standards for the introduction of a new life-saving colorectal cancer screening unit.

Ennis is one of the 15 candidate hospitals selected by the National Cancer Screening Service (NCSS) to carry out colorectal cancer screening.

Appointed by the NCSS, the British-based Joint Advisory Group is planning to visit Ennis as part of the stringent accreditation assessment in November or December.
