Upper GI Quality & Reporting

What You'll Learn

Upper GI endoscopy quality lives or dies in the report. A clear, structured report drives the right surveillance, the right management, and the right outcome — while a vague one stores up risk for years.

This focused 90-minute webinar brings together two leading European voices on upper GI quality to give you a practical framework for what every upper GI report should contain, and how to apply it to one of the highest-stakes scenarios in your endoscopy day: Barrett's surveillance.

Key Topics

• The structured upper GI report — What every endoscopist should capture, every time
• Photo-documentation that drives decisions — Landmarks, lesions, and the difference between defensive and useful images
• Gastric pre-malignancy assessment — EGGIM, OLGA/OLGIM, and risk-stratified surveillance
• Reporting standards in practice — ESGE STAR principles applied to your everyday lists
• Barrett's surveillance basics, done right — Sampling, mapping, and missed-lesion prevention
• From report to plan — Translating findings into clear, actionable surveillance intervals

Expert Faculty

Prof. Gianluca Esposito

Sapienza University of Rome / Sant'Andrea University Hospital, Italy

Associate Professor of Gastroenterology and a leading European voice on upper GI quality and reporting standards. Lead developer of the Endoscopic Grading of Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia (EGGIM) classification, now widely used to standardise endoscopic assessment of gastric pre-malignancy. Co-author on the ESGE STAR (Standardisation of Reports) project for Upper GI Endoscopy.

Prof. Massimiliano di Pietro

Early Cancer Institute, University of Cambridge / Cambridge University Hospitals, UK

Senior Clinician Scientist at the Early Cancer Institute and Honorary Consultant Gastroenterologist at Cambridge. Lead investigator on the BEST2 and BEST3 Cytosponge trials and a key contributor to BSG and international guidelines on Barrett's management. His research on risk stratification, optical diagnosis, and biomarker-led surveillance shapes how Barrett's care is delivered across Europe.

Moderators

Dr David Tate (Course Director, GIEQs), Dr Roland Valori (former National Clinical Director for Endoscopy, England), and Dr John Anderson (Consultant Gastroenterologist, Cheltenham — former national Endoscopy Training Lead, UK).
