BETC represents a collaborative project launched by University Hospitals Bristol and Weston, Southmead Hospital (NBT) and InHealth Endoscopy (Prime Endoscopy Bristol). BETC provides a new training resource for UK endoscopists and trainees focusing on basic therapeutics, and simulated endoscopy training/scenarios.

South West Endoscopy Academy Created
The Covid-19 Pandemic has seriously impacted already strained traditional training structures. Novel models of endoscopy training are needed for the future. There is an appetite from trainers and trainees to identify new models of endoscopy training. As a result of this and to take the opportunity of the challenges that we face, we how now seen the creation of an Academy structure across all 4 nations to develop models that could include:
Creating ring fenced endoscopy placements within specialty training programmes.
Reviewing basic skills course delivery to assess e-learning components and the learning objectives to ensure they are of value.
Considering other systems of training delivery such as immersion training.
Congratulations to Dr Paul Dunkley on his appointment as Director of the South West Endoscopy Academy.
New Wet Lab Course in the UK.
The BETC team have been working hard throughout COVID-19 to realise our goal of providing a new Wet Lab endoscopy course in the UK. Our aim is to support the South West Training Academy by improving access to high quality endoscopy training in a variety of modern forms to future proof the UK's endoscopy workforce. Our first course date has now been confirmed as the 25th November 2021. We will be running two courses side by side, encompassing LGI polypectomy, and UGI haemostasis skills. We cannot wait!
