Endoscopy Workshop Programme

The course has three basic components, didactic lectures describing instrumentation and techniques, practice of techniques on models, and supervised tuition in the out-patient clinic or operating theatre. The emphasis is very much on "how to do it safely and effectively" rather than "what the outcome will be", something which can be read from publications and textbooks.
