🤣🤣🤣

And it’s about having the people in the lab (or radiology department) to do the testing. Support services are struggling too,

Agreed. As as “card carrying” Bowel Screener, I’m not entirely convinced methodology is correct. A relatively insensitive FIT screen followed by a frenzy of diminutive polypectomy misses the point (& 1000s of cancers) IMO. Many better options. DM me if interested in my thoughts?

Huge respect to all of you for bringing this sort of horrifying and completely unacceptable/criminal behaviour into the spotlight. Calling it out has to be the first step. Support and protection for those who do the next. We CANNOT allow this to happen in our profession.

Sultan Mahmood MD Tyler Berzin MD, FASGE Steven Bollipo Sunil Amin, MD, FASGE, FRCPC CGH UB GI Fellowship SAGES is in Tampa in 2026! Allon Kahn, MD Aline Charabaty, MD, FACG, AGAF Mohammad Bilal, MD Katarzyna Monika Pawlak @swapnagayam Sundeep Lakhtakia I think it’s perfect as a diagnostic modality where the procedure is expected to be normal. Better tolerated even without sedation. Maneouvreability and image quality aren’t as good though

I used to when in practice, as taught by RJ Nichols. To prevent opening of microperforations in the transverse colon when peeling it off, and to make later re-operation (for reconstruction) easier. Also, probably makes the surgery faster. This was in “open” surgery.

Many good reasons ..not least because surgeons constitute nearly 30% of the national endoscopy workforce! Don’t want to steal James’s thunder on the rest. 😉 Maybe the better question is why we are still trying to justify this!!

Insufficient information!

Congratulations! Well done indeed!

Brilliant endoscopy session at @ACPGBI ACC course!

Which is why these people need a DRE in primary care along with their FIT so they won’t need to be referred urgently, or at all.

God bless Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. God save the King.

That was incidental Dave! Even I might have seen most of these without help - and I don’t know if the patient was a trial candidate Important point you make though - several points. Funding of colonoscopy screening and resect and discard policies are being “investigated.”

Mine was too! For me …… definitely!

Make your next poo a lifesaver!

A properly trained colleague would have made the cake for you personally Lyndsey!

Excited and very pleased that Western Sussex Bowel Cancer Screening Centre has been accepted to offer FIT@80 screening from October 25 as part of the “First Wave!”
