Immersion training for gastroscopy and colonoscopy trainees.

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational program combines a retrospective quantitative analysis of endoscopists who trained between January 2022 and the study start date with a prospective assessment of subsequent immersion training. It will examine process measures, trainee performance outcomes, service impacts, and perform an economic (cost-effectiveness) evaluation of current immersion practices. Data are collected from participants at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and linked service metrics to understand both individual and system-level effects. The goal is to determine which immersion approaches, if any, offer meaningful benefits and represent value for money.
