We have developed the Colon Map for Training to offer a structured approach for colonoscopy intubation. Created by training teams at Torbay and Cheltenham and Gloucester as part of the South West Endoscopy Training Academy, and based on JAG courses over last 20 years!

Colon map is a segment-by-segment masterclass on how to do colonoscopy, amassed through decades of training experience from Torbay Endoscopy Training Centre. Be sure to bookmark and follow them!

Upskilling! As part of the upskilling in colonoscopy training that we provide to centres in the region, we have developed this poster which sits in all of our endoscopy rooms. What do you think has the biggest impact on polyp detection? Keith Siau Olly Bendall Charlotte Taylor
