Accreditation ensures all bowel screening clinicians have demonstrated they are performing to the same high standard.There are several advantages to an accreditation process for bowel screeners; both for the unit and the individual endoscopists involved. Some benefits are that accreditation:
• ensures all endoscopists providing screening have demonstrated meeting the same consistent, high standard • provides an opportunity for endoscopists to demonstrate high-level colonoscopic skills • minimises the risk of complications and inaccurate and incomplete examinations • encourages improvement of the local endoscopy service.
