Train the Endoscopy Trainers — Day 1, Colonoscopy

What this day is

Day 1 is built around five live colonoscopy cases. Each case runs about 40 minutes of procedure followed by 20 minutes of structured debrief, in which the trainer feeds back to the trainee using the recorded video, and the super trainers then critique the trainer's use of video as a teaching tool.

The thing that is different about this course is not the procedures. It is the loop: trainer→trainee feedback uses the video; faculty→trainer feedback critiques the use of the video. That is the skill we are teaching.

Faculty

• Super trainers (observe the trainer, not the trainee): Prof Roland Valori (Gloucestershire), Dr John Anderson (Gloucestershire).
• Trainers: Dr Nick Church (NHS Lothian), Dr Manmeet Matharoo (St Mark's), Dr Elizabeth Bird-Lieberman (Oxford), Dr David Tate (UZ Gent).
• Trainees: 4–6 fellows including local UZ Gent trainees.

Who should attend

Experienced endoscopy trainers refining their craft, and mid-career endoscopists transitioning into training roles. Live in-person seats are limited to 10 to keep the room workable; virtual stream is available for an additional 60 viewers.

Pre-course webinar

The 1 June pre-course webinar (purchased separately, €30, free with Pro) sets up the conscious-competence framework, training language, and the video-as-tool methodology. Both faculty and virtual viewers benefit from attending.

How to attend

• In-person observer (€250) — 10 seats. UZ Gent. You sit in the room with faculty for the full day.
• Virtual live-stream (€150) — 60 seats. Live broadcast from the room with the debriefs included.
• Pro members — back-catalogue access included after the live day.

What you will leave with

• A repeatable structure for using continuous video to coach colonoscopy trainees.
• An honest read on your own training delivery — from super trainers who have done this for two decades.
• Membership of a working community of trainers using video review as standard practice, not as a special event.
