What is the Upper GI Best Practice Update? 

The Upper GI course takes place over 1 day and is for experienced Endoscopists, mixing theory updates with some hands-on practice and microteaching throughout the day.

The course was developed following the establishment of the National Endoscopy Training Programme's (NETP) Upper GI Endoscopy Guideline and Best Practice Consensus Statement, and updates Endoscopists in best practice for improving lesion recognition and eventually patient outcomes.

Best practice updates

On 11 March, a team of UK experts delivered an informative session on lesion detection and recognition to over 100 Scottish Upper GI Endoscopists. The session received excellent feedback and has been made available to view on TURAS Learn.
