Programme aim
On completion of this ASP practitioners will have completed an introduction to the upper and lower GI system. Practitioners will be proficient in breath tests, endoanal ultrasound and oesophageal manometry, pH and impedance monitoring enabling them to practice within a Gastrointestinal Physiology department. This course is designed for nurses and other healthcare professionals who are working in the GI field but have not received formalised training in GI as a specialist area. AGIP support this ASP as a route to accreditation as an independent practitioner to ensure that patient safety standards are upheld.
