Endoscopy capacity and demand tool
A model to help you understand your endoscopy demand and estimate the capacity you may need to meet it.
A populated example of the endoscopy model
A blank copy of the endoscopy model, which is ready for you to complete and use
This model helps you to understand:
- your endoscopy demand, and also the variation in demand, for your specialty
- the current service
- the core capacity you genuinely have available to see patients and the ad hoc/flexible capacity you rely on to deliver the service
The model will provide an estimate of:
- the capacity you need to meet your demand
- the backlog that may need to be cleared to sustainably deliver national, and locally agreed, waiting times standards
To use this tool you will need to have a good understanding of basic demand and capacity theory and terminology.
