AUGIS continues to provide support and an input into the teaching training and development of endoscopy services. Its input into the BSG endoscopy committee has provided input into the PEUGIC root cause analysis project, the recent publish endoscopy sedation guidelines and the development of the forth coming TNE guidelines. Project such as the “appropriate endoscopy” initiative and the “points on the list” guidance have also had AUGIS input and support. AUGIS will also be supporting the continued independence of the JAG in GI endoscopy as this is challenged by the Royal College of Physicians. AUGIS will also be represent in the development in NHSE endoscopy Strategy as the provision of GI endoscopy under goes transformation in England in the near future.
The role of surgical trainees in endoscopy training and AUGIS views and ability to influence that need to be define and this one of the challenges for the coming year.
