Aims
To facilitate the development of a safe and effective Clinical Endoscopist (CE), by equipping the student with the knowledge, skills, competences to perform diagnostic Oesophago-Gastro-Duodenoscopy (OGD) incorporating the professional attributes that underpin an advanced practice role.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate understanding of the broadened level of responsibility and autonomy of the advanced practice role and the professional scope of practice set within legal, ethical, professional and organisational governance.
2.
Examine the principles and practice of the Clinical Endoscopist role and critically apply knowledge of the key concepts involved in clinical reasoning and decision making.
3.
Appraise the evidence base underpinning the Clinical Endoscopist role in relation to consent, effective patient report writing, legal, regulatory and ethical aspects of advanced practice.
4.
Obtain relevant information by history taking, physical assessment and examination of a patient's clinical records to guide interpretation of endoscopic findings.
5.
Acquire and synthesise all necessary evidence to effectively manage patients with individual or complex comorbidities when presenting for diagnostic Oesophago- Gastro-Duodenoscopy (OGD).
6.
Interpret endoscopic findings based on knowledge of the anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology of the gastrointestinal tract to recommend further investigations and develop an evidence-based management plan.
7.
Demonstrate competence in endoscopic skills, both technical and non-technical, as defined by the Joint Advisory Group (JAG) in relation to diagnostic Oesophago- Gastro-Duodenoscopy (OGD).
