Gastroenterology and Endoscopy administrative duties within the Department will also be undertaken regularly.
The template for Consultant outpatient clinics is based as a minimum on the RCP template. A standard clinic comprises 12 patients and includes a combination of new, fast track and follow-up patients with each patient allocated 15-20 minutes. This template will depending on the experience of the trainee increase by up to 50% when a Gastroenterology Registrar has been allocated to clinic.
Endoscopy Training lists comprise 6-8 units and are adjusted to trainee requirements. The department has a well established record in supporting Endoscopy training and all trainers have undertaken train the trainers courses.
