Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The study looks at 2 hypotheses in 2 patient groups: 1. Are more experienced endoscopists better at detecting subtle lesions (polyps) on the lining of the colon (large bowel) than less experienced endoscopists? 2. Do existing and new techniques that can highlight lesions on the lining of the bowel improve endoscopists ability to spot them? This will be tested using video footage of endoscopies from 2 patient groups: those with a normal colon linig and those with colitis (bowel lining inflamation)

- measure
- The difference in adenoma detection rate on video between consultants endoscopist vs. trainee endoscopists who have performed more than 200 endoscopies vs. trainee endospopists who have performed less than 200 endoscopies
Secondary outcomes (2)
- measure
- For each technique:
- measure
- differences in adenoma detection rate between endoscopist of varying abilities with and without techniques to highlight polyps. Differences in adenoma detection rate in terms of esperience.
