What are Basic Endoscopy Skills Courses?
These courses (for Colonoscopy and Upper Gastrointestinal tract GI) are designed to introduce trainees to best practice and theory in endoscopy at the start of their endoscopy learning journey.
The course is an essential requirement to becoming a Joint Advisory Group (JAG) accredited endoscopist.
Both Basic Colon Skills and Basic Upper GI skills courses are now available at The National Endoscopy Training Programme (NETP) centre at NHS Golden Jubilee, the West of Scotland Training Centre at Stobhill, East Lothian Community Hospital (ELCH) and the Surgical Skills Centre in Dundee.
All courses are advertised for booking on the JAGS Endoscopy Training System (JETS) website.
