Eligibility requirements I am the departmental lead for the Royal College of Physicians Improving Quality in Liver Services (IQILS) accreditation scheme. This was a national accreditation project that involved co-ordinating a multi-professional group to assess the standard of care delivered by the service, identify both good practice and areas for improvement and then develop and implement service improvement plans. The North Bristol Liver Unit became the second unit in the country to achieve accreditation in November 2021 and we were commended for the quality of the leadership and evidence presented. Specific standards that were covered included leadership and operational delivery, person centred care, risk and patient safety, clinical effectiveness, workforce development and systems to support service delivery. The examinations have been merged in an aim to harmonise and improve the standards of practice and patient care across Europe. Harmonising the SCE in Gastroenterology and the EBGHE is a practical way of working towards that aim. What will the examination fees be?

The training curriculum has recently been completely revised after significant consultation. It is also a very demanding service specialty with large outpatient clinics, busy endoscopy services, multidisciplinary teams, subspecialty development and for most a continued commitment to acute general medical receiving. Daily work requires good communication skills, diagnostic acumen, manual dexterity, ability to assess complex images and the need to work as part of a team. Assessment has to reflect this complex interaction of skills. Gastroenterology is a visual specialty that requires the regular interpretation of endoscopic, radiologic and histological images in relation to the individual patient's problem. The ESEGH is a high quality, reliable examination, based on a proven format, now UK (General Medical Council) Regulator approved, which is currently mandatory in the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK from 2018.
