Welcome to the JAG

The Joint Advisory Group on Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (the JAG) assumes an active and broad role in the quality assurance of endoscopy training and services across the UK.

Our mission as an organisation is to provide UK wide support for the whole of the endoscopy workforce to ensure they have the skills, resources and motivation necessary to provide the highest quality, timely, patient-centred care.

We aim:

  • To set standards for individual endoscopists
  • To set standards for training in endoscopy
  • To quality assure endoscopy units for training
  • To quality assure endoscopy training courses 

 

The JAG has been in existence since 1994. It was set up to define the standards for the training of all endoscopists no matter their professional background. Please click here for more detailed background information.
