The Accreditation Unit (AU) comprises of around 30 staff who work across six clinical areas with 11 websites and 4 large databases to support delivery. The AU is highly experienced and credible at leading professionally led and patient-centred clinical accreditation programmes, as well as delivering training packages. The National Endoscopy Database is the largest and most complex database in the AU.
