Construction is expected to be completed later this year.
A new endoscopy unit at the Leicester General Hospital is underway.
Construction of the new £18 million site, which will feature six procedure rooms, as well as 20 pods for patients before and after their procedures, started in 2024 and is expected to be completed later this year.
University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust said: "The new standalone, two-storey unit will provide around 17,000 endoscopy appointments every year. An endoscopy is a non-surgical procedure that is carried out to examine a patient’s digestive tract and can be used to help diagnose a number of conditions, including cancer."
