This course has been developed for physicians and endoscopists interested in Inflammatory Bowel Disease(s) (IBD). One major aim of this e-learning activity is to increase competence and knowledge with regard to endoscopy in IBD in order to improve patient outcomes.

After this case you will be able to assess:

• Endoscopic scoring systems in Ulcerative Colitis (UC) 
• Endoscopic scoring systems to assess Pouchitis 
• Endoscopic scoring systems in Crohn’s Disease (CD) 
• Small bowel Crohn’s Disease and capsule endoscopy (CE) 
• Surveillance colonoscopy in IBD

Endoscopic Scoring Systems in Crohn's Diesase

This course has been developed for physicians and endoscopists interested in Inflammatory Bowel Disease(s) (IBD). One major aim of this e-learning activity is to increase competence and knowledge with regard to endoscopy in IBD in order to improve patient outcomes.

The main learning objective will be to train participants in the evaluation of endoscopic images  of colonic lesions using multiple endoscopic techniques and modalities including the new advanced optical diagnosis technologies: dye chromoendoscopy, dyeless chromoendoscopy, magnification, when and why to do EMR  and ESD. Further this course will detail EMR and ESD techniques and the challenges of ESD and the management of strictures , fistulae and complications in IBD.

The major aim of the endoscopy course is to increase competence, knowledge, and confidence of the participants with regard to interventional therapy and endotherapy  in IBD and to improve patient management and outcomes.

This course was developed by Professor. Simon Travis and Dr. Rebecca Palmer in cooperation with Leading Edge Medical Education. This course is designed for gastroenterologists, paediatricians, surgeons, nurses and other interdisciplinary medical professional interested in the endoscopy of ulcerative colitis (UC) The intended result of this activity is competence and knowledge of endoscopy, in the assessment and follow-up of patients with UC.  The course is divided into three parts: the first is about the UCEIS and descriptors; the second is Self Assessment, which does not contribute to the final score and the third is the UCEIS Certification itself, to confirm  competence in using the UCEIS.  

Upon completion of this activity learners will:

• Be trained in the evaluation of endoscopic images in the assessment of activity in UC
• Understand why UCEIS was developed
• Understand how UCEIS was developed
• Understand the role of UCEIS
• Utilise UCEIS in clinical practice

This course is designed for gastroenterologists, surgeons, paediatricians, pathologists and other interdisciplinary medical experts interested in Inflammatory Bowel Disease(s) (IBD). One major aim of this e-learning activity is to increase competence and knowledge with regard to IBD and Malignancies and to harmonise diagnostics and treatment in order to improve patient outcomes.

This course will follow the following cases on:

1. Colorectal cancer in IBD
   
2. Lymphoma risk following immunosuppressive therapy with thiopurines in IBD patients - cancer and IBD
   
3. Skin cancer in IBD
4. Chemotherapy in chronically active ulcerative colitis

Upon completion of this activity learners will have gained knowledge on:

• IBD and Solid Tumours
  
• IBD and Haematological Malignancies
  
• IBD and Skin Malignancies
• Management of IBD patients with a past history of malignancy

This course is designed for gastroenterologists, surgeons, paediatricians, pathologists and other interdisciplinary medical experts interested in Inflammatory Bowel Disease(s) (IBD). One major aim of this e-learning activity is to increase competence and knowledge with regard to the prediction, diagnosis and management of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients and to harmonise diagnostics and treatment in order to improve patient outcomes.

Upon completion of this activity learners will:

• Have insights into the basic epidemiology of ulcerative colitis
• Know current treatment options for severe ulcerative colitis, including colectomy
• Be able to use ciclosporin correctly in severe ulcerative colitis
• Understand when to order thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity when starting azathioprine
