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.
