The New JAG Trainee Certification Process
Tuesday, 03 May 2011 08:57
Dear Trainee,
Over the last 18 months, the JAG has carried out an extensive review and consultation on the way that trainees are assessed as competent at endoscopy. This article aims to inform you of the changes, provide you with the rationale for the changes and give you a timeline for implementation.
Firstly, the term accreditation is changing to certification to help distinguish this process from the endoscopy unit accreditation process.
Trainees have fed back that the application process for certification can be paper heavy and cumbersome. In response to this, the JAG have designed and released the JETS e-portfolio. From mid March 2011 the application process will be streamlined; you will be able to apply through the JETS e-portfolio. From September 2011, all applications will have to be submitted through the JETS e-portfolio. If needed, supplementary paper evidence will be permitted until at least 2012.
If you are not sure whether your trust has set up the JETS e-portfolio click on this link:
Details on how to set up the JETS e-portfolio can be found here:

The Barts and the London-UEGF Diploma in Gastroenterology (Distance Learning) is a newly established course starting in October 2010. It is designed as a curriculum in gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition for new entrants into these fields and as an update and extension for those already in it. A highly successful full-time MSc has run based at Barts and the London for 16 years, this course has been designed to allow students to undertake this without the need to live in or visit London.
It has been jointly established by the Centre for Digestive Diseases at Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry and the United European Gastroenterology Federation. The course has also been approved by the British Society of Gastroenterology.
The Centre for Digestive Diseases (www.icms.qmul.ac.uk/centres/digestivediseases/index.html) (within the Blizard Institute of Cell and Molecular Science, Queen Mary University of London) is one of the largest academic and clinical departments in this field in the UK and includes professors in GI genetics, paediatrics, surgery, neurogastroenterology, clinical gastroenterology, GI pharmacology and GI physiology all of whom contribute to the post graduate teaching (www.icms.qmul.ac.uk/centres/digestivediseases/staff-research.htm). The majority of the teaching in the Diploma is provided by clinical academics who are both research and clinically active.
The programme provides clinicians with both theoretical and clinically applied aspects of this discipline with a focus on the relevant basic sciences and research techniques.
It is aimed at clinicians wishing to gain strong knowledge of the sciences underpinning the clinical diseases and their management.
