What is Upskilling for Colonoscopy?
This course is aimed at experienced Colonoscopists to update and critique their current skills and practice, while also learning about new developments and techniques.
What is happening?
These JAG accredited courses are currently available at the NETP Training Centre within NHS Golden Jubilee, the West of Scotland Training Centre at Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow and at the East Lothian Community Hospital.
The 2023 and 2024 national endoscopy Key Performance Indicator data shows significant improvement in both ceacal intubation rates and adenoma detection rates in Boards where a significant percentage of Endoscopists have participated in this course. Some Boards have now mandated that all Colonoscopists complete upskilling at least once every 5 years.
