Health Education England elearning for healthcare (HEE elfh) has been working with the Joint Advisory Group on Gastrointestinal Endoscopy at the Royal College of Physicians to add new content to the Endoscopy elearning programme.

The e-Endoscopy programme provides an interactive learning resource for health professionals involved in the delivery of endoscopy services. The courses cover a range of subject areas that are linked to knowledge competencies required by endoscopists, endoscopy trainers and endoscopy nurses and have been carefully aligned with existing recommendations for endoscopy training in the UK.

The new modules cover five sessions which form an essential part of the JETS workforce programme:

JETS workforce:

• Patient Pre-assessment for GI Endoscopy
• Infection Control
• Role of Assistant and Diathermy
• Improving Quality and Safety in Endoscopy
• Decontamination Foundation

Over the coming months further sessions will be launched to support teaching in the following areas:

• Capsule Endoscopy
• Sub-specialties such as EUS
• Improving Safety and Reducing Error in Endoscopy (ISREE)
