Background
In view of these challenging and unprecedented times, we are proud of our team committee members who have managed to design and launch a live streaming course linking with world experts in the field of endoscopy (USA, Japan, India, Spain and UK). Due to COVID pandemic restrictions, no hands-on training sessions will take place.
The course will be held in the afternoon on Day 1 and in the morning on Day 2 to meet the demands of time zone differences. All free registered delegates will be able to ask questions during the live case sessions, answered by experts live using the online platform. A set of live dedicated lectures covering a wide range of therapeutic procedures in the lower and upper gastrointestinal tract will be transmitted via a video link. The moderation of the live case sessions will advocate interactive discussions between delegates and experts.
Our ultimate goal is to sustain high quality training, encompassing the endo-surgical management of complex colorectal and oesophageal lesions and introducing advanced endoscopy resection techniques (EMR, ESD, SCOPE, POEM). This is the first time we will present the oesophageal submucosal and third space in live cases and lectures.
There are 16 CPD points endorsed by the Royal College of Physicians.

KENT Course 2020 Programme
This is the only endoscopy training course based within KSS (Kent, Surrey and Sussex), featuring live endoscopy cases by national and international experts. There will be formative lectures delivered by experts in their field together with hands-on training with ex vivo porcine models led by Dr Zacharias Tsiamoulos. Certificates and 16 CPD points will be available for those completing the course. There are opportunities to see and attend live cases with interactive sessions on advanced endoscopic techniques.
The course provides exposure to the new complex polyp service and pathways using our experts from the Trust, and delegates will have the opportunity to have hands-on practice and feedback.
The Trust will also be offering delegates opportunities to apply for a Fellowship in Advanced Endosurgery.
