This document contains Quality Standards for diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy in adults. The Quality Standards do not apply to children.

The Quality Standards also include the use of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUSTBNA) in relation to lung cancer.

The purpose of the Quality Standards document is to provide commissioners, planners and patients with a guide to standards of care that should be met for flexible bronchoscopy procedures in the UK, together with measurable markers of good practice.
