Healthcare Assistant: Endoscopy Insourcing Programme

About ProMedical

ProMedical delivers structured insourced clinical services that support healthcare providers to increase clinical capacity and improve patient access within established care pathways.

Our programmes are built around multidisciplinary teams, deployed on-site to deliver coordinated clinical activity during periods of sustained demand.
