**3rd Cycle** GI ENTRY LEVEL TRAINING OPPORTUNITY
September 2025 - July 2026
Scroll down for programme...
BSGAR is delighted to collaborate with NHSE for the benefit of our Resident doctors. BSGAR will deliver 10 half day sessions, each comprising 4 topics, delivered virtually. Sessions will be delivered on the first Tuesday of each month from September 2025 to July 2026 (please note slight amendments to accommodate bank holidays and the BSGAR annual meeting).
Sessions will be delivered via Zoom and share anonymized imaging cases using the cloud-based software, Pacsbin. Attendees will be asked to register once on zoom for the programme and automated reminders with available case links for each session will be sent thereafter.
It is anticipated that Academies will offer these AM sessions locally, with trainees attending an appropriate communal venue. If Academies wish to deliver this learning virtually, the links provided can be distributed to individual trainees. If Academies/Hospitals cannot release trainees for the session but wish these to be accessible after the event, the topics/session recordings will be made available - NB the recordings page is password protected. Academies/TPDs have been sent the password and are responsible for distributing as appropriate.
It is suggested that academies may wish to deliver more specific local training in the associated PM session that elaborate and develop themes covered. Please see the programme below and a downloadable pdf at the bottom of the page. *Please note all Cycle 2 material has been removed from the BSGAR website in preparation for Cycle 3.
