We can do Everyday Endoscopy Better

October 2020 - we launched our first international symposium on Everyday Endoscopy.

October 2021 was our second edition - expanded faculty and more delegates, broadening the idea of Everyday Endoscopy.

September 29^th and 30^th 2022 will be the dates our annual symposium pushes the concept of Everyday Endoscopy to an exciting new level. Read on to find out more...

Everyday Endoscopy Needs a Home

For too long Endoscopy symposia have focussed on novel, complex or niche procedures that are not performed by the vast majority of endoscopists. 

There is a clear need for a high-quality meeting focused on procedures that all endoscopists perform.

GIEQs focusses on these procedures:

• Gastroscopy
• Colonoscopy
• Endoscopic Therapy for Gastrointestinal Bleeding
• ERCP
• EUS
• Lesion Detection, Assessment and Decision-making
• Basic endoscopic therapeutic procedures including the basics of Colonic Polypectomy
• Training in Endoscopic Procedures
• Common Mistakes / Controversies in Endoscopic Practice
• System approaches to improve the quality and safety of endoscopy

Deconstruction: the key to the GIEQs Approach

How do you learn any practical skill? Think back to when you learned to drive. Did your parents try to teach you how to drive? Did they do a good job? If you are like us, they did not.

Why not? Our parents were able to drive a car, but most found it difficult to explain the key actions required to drive safely. In contrast, our driving instructors knew exactly how to teach us to drive.

This is the key to learning an endoscopic skill. Having the knowledge to explain why certain things work in certain situations based on instrument mechanics and the underlying pathophysiology and anatomy.

All endoscopic procedures can be deconstructed in this way. GIEQs brings deconstructed education of endoscopic procedures to the mainstream using a combination of virtual, live and symposium-based education.

GIEQs III – a Live meeting with High-Definition Streaming

Our next meeting will be bigger, improving on our previous experience and delivery. It will be a LIVE event simultaneously streamed directly in high definition to our Virtual Audience. The same production standards that defined the first two editions will be maintained.

So, you can choose:

• Attend LIVE in Ghent, Belgium for a true face-to-face experience
• Attend VIRTUALLY on our custom-made platform for an in-room experience right up close to the action and like no other
• Attend VIRTUALLY after the event.

LIVE participants gain all of the above in their registration package.

Content

Our provisional programme for GIEQs III is below. You will notice a focus on a simple, deconstructed approach to key issues in endoscopic practice.

Whether you attend live or virtually you can expect the following

• High-definition visuals
• All content linked together by tags*
• Ability to ask questions directly to the experts performing procedures and panel
• Combination of live endoscopy, case-based discussion and cartoon-based whiteboard teaching to improve understanding of important concepts
• Content equally relevant for trainees and experienced endoscopists

Faculty

This year we have invited experts who have really impacted the practice of everyday endoscopic practice. We have gone out of our way to be inclusive and to ensure a broad range of expertise.

Our provisional External faculty includes:

More faculty to be announced soon. Watch this space.
