Summary
QE and Durham and Darlington share a regional Complex Rectal Lesion (CRL) MDT meeting every fortnight. We discuss complex polyp cases from across the region. Attendance and supporting the endoscopy team for these meetings would be expected. This will give good insight into the therapeutic potential now available for patients. Therapeutic lower GI training will consist of a therapeutic training list every week and 1-2 service lists/therapeutic lists per week. Dr Barbour offers ESD for lower GI lesions both in endoscopy and in theatre. Understanding the indications and the patient pathway for ESD would be an important aspect to the attachment. Supporting ESD lists will also be part of the fellow training. Training will consist of up skilling in lesion recognition and piecemeal EMR first and then moving onto ESD when appropriate Dr Barbour and Professor Dhar offer POEMs procedures in James Cook University Hospital (JCUH) in association with Prof Vishwanath. We have a regional Achalasia MDT every month and we perform POEMs procedure every month at JCUH. Preparing these MDT meetings and ensuring the outcomes are communicated to referring teams would be expected as well as attending a POEM list or 2 as an observer. Professor Dhar has specialist interests in Barretts Oesophagus and Oesophageal Diseases and there will be opportunities to be involved in training in lesion detection in Barretts surveillance, endoscopic mucosal resection and Radiofrequency Ablation. Oesophageal, pyloric and colonic dilatation, stent placement, Wireless pH capsule placement, stentfix and OTSC clip application and IBD assessment and surveillance. Research opportunities in cutting edge technology such as Artificial Intelligence in Endoscopy and EndoFLIP are expected to be available.
