Introduction to Endoscopy Training
This learning introduces the essential knowledge and practical principles required for safe, effective endoscopy practice. It covers the core areas that new endoscopists, non‑medical endoscopists and endoscopy assistants must understand, from how examinations are performed through to risk assessment, safe sedation and patient‑centred care. The course supports early‑stage learning across a wide range of clinical environments and is designed to build confidence and competence in key endoscopy skills.
Developed by the UK’s Joint Advisory Group on GI Endoscopy (JAG), the programme reflects the standards and expectations of high‑quality Endoscopy Services in the UK. Interactive sessions, videos from real procedures and visual materials such as CT scans, anatomical diagrams and endoscopic images help bring the learning to life. The course also supports the development of knowledge based competencies needed for progression through training.
