This course has become an extremely popular and prestigious event amongst our UK gastroenterologists and surgeons and has gone from strength to strength over the last seven years. It is the only endoscopy-surgical training course dedicated to complex colorectal and oesophageal procedures (EMR, ESD/SSD, SCOPE, POEM, G-POEM, Z-POEM, STER, TAMIS), comprising sections with live lectures, live endoscopy cases, and hands-on experience delivered by our international faculty.
Our international faculty, including Professor Yutaka Saito (NCCH, Tokyo), Professor Norio Fukami (Mayo Clinic, USA), Dr. Leon Moons (UMC Utretch, Netherlands), Dr. Mohan Ramchandani (Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India), Dr Seiichiro Abe (NCCH, Tokyo), and many others, provide experience and insight of real-time endoluminal therapy, offering our worldwide delegates a sound understanding of technique and practice.
The internationally recognised faculty will again join our prestigious, well-respected UK national faculty, and we look to surpass all expectations and hence establish a unique National and International training course.
This year, the K.EN.T Endo-surgical Course 2024 (8th to 10th of October 2024) will advocate an Immersive-Hybrid event (FIRST OF ITS KIND IN ENDOSCOPY IN UK) offering two separate platforms for delegates to join: (a) physical attendance/F2F access with a Virtual Reality experience, (b) the remote live streaming platform. This is an innovation in the field of endo-surgery training. Additionally, we will incorporate face-to-face training with hands-on experience on the 10th of October 2024, the ONLY training course which offers delegates a unique and fascinating experience.
