Throughout 2024, the JAG programme has been celebrating its 30th anniversary. This celebration culminated with an in-person event at the Royal College of Physicians London.

The evening was a chance for those involved with JAG over the last 30 years to reflect on the achievements of the programme and look forward to the future.

The episode has 5 interviews, and it captures the thoughts and feelings of those involved with JAG during the course of the evening.

The National Endoscopy Transformation team and stakeholders have been working hard to develop Advanced Training Skills Modules (ATSMs) for advanced colonoscopy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. These modules will help enhance the growth of the BCSP and ERCP workforce.

The team is hosting a webinar on Tuesday 10th December, 16:30 – 17:30 to launch and socialise both ATSMs. This webinar will be useful for regional training centre leads and trainees. It will give a brief overview of each ATSM, the EOL process for BCSP and ERCP training centres and individuals, as well as a Q&A segment to solve any queries.

Please register your interest with this link or scan the QR code. Once registered, you will receive a calendar invite for the webinar.

Endoscopic complications are inevitable, and the welfare of patients who are affected is our first priority. However, the psychological impact on trainees and independent practitioners is poorly understood. If this impact is not recognised and if support is not offered, there is a risk that colleagues will carry those injuries or even abandon certain procedures. This JAG-endorsed survey, carried out by Dr Sreelakshmi Kotha and Dr Phillip Berry, explores the impact of complications on endoscopists, the specific fears and anxieties that may arise, and the type of support that was offered. We hope that this data will contribute to improved education and support for endoscopists in the UK.
