Department of Health’s Hepatitis C Awareness Campaign
2009 will see the relaunch of the Department of Health’s hepatitis C awareness campaign to help improve the detection and diagnosis of the virus, as there is effective treatment available to prevent progression to serious liver disease.
Formerly called ‘Face It’, the new campaign will place a greater focus on reaching groups at increased risk of infection, such as former dependent or non-dependent intravenous drug users and people from a South Asian background, following in-depth research on these audience groups.

Lesion Recognition System
Formal Assessment in Lesion Recognition at Endoscopy:
Pilot Version Now Live!
This e-learning programme is designed to complement the skills training programmes that have been developed and run throughout the UK as part of the National Endoscopy Training Programme.
It has become apparent that with the move to competence based curricula, lesion recognition, a vital part of endoscopy, had not been formally addressed. This programme, a joint venture of the BSG and the JAG (funded by the BSG) gives trainee endoscopists the opportunity to test their lesion recognition skills, and related endoscopic / gastroenterological knowledge.
(Note: this is a pilot version of the site, with one assessment available at present. This assessment comprises 10 questions (most with several parts each) and a pass rate of 70%. Your feedback on this pilot version is very welcome – please see the Lesion Recognition System website for details.)
