More information
The Core Endoscopy courses form part of a wider aim to provide learning resources to address the knowledge-based competencies of endoscopists and endoscopy assistants. Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare have partnered with the Joint Advisory Group (the JAG) to develop further learning resources that are linked to common therapeutic procedures such as polypectomy and the management of upper GI bleeding. It is intended that these resources will build over time to provide a catalogue of e-learning that can be accessed on demand.
