Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a standard procedure that plays an important role in the management of both malignant and benign disease. The development of EUS services in the UK has been haphazard and training inconsistent. The British Society of Gastroenterology has charged a working group with the task of laying down a national framework for how such services might be commissioned, structured and regulated; with particular attention to defining how endoscopist skills might be acquired, assessed and maintained. This report lays out a map for this process and its future revision.
内镜超声检查(EUS)是一种标准程序,在恶性和良性疾病的管理中发挥着重要作用。英国EUS服务的发展一直是杂乱无章的,培训也不一致。英国胃肠病学会已责成一个工作组制定一个国家框架,以规范此类服务的委托、结构和监管方式;特别关注确定如何获取、评估和维持内镜医师的技能。本报告为此过程及其未来修订绘制了一幅路线图。
