Accurate endoscopic assessment is fundamental to modern inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) management. This webinar features Professor Simon Travis, who developed the Ulcerative Colitis Endoscopic Index of Severity (UCEIS), and Professor Vipul Jairath, an international leader in inflammatory bowel disease research and clinical trials.
This focused webinar provides practical training in endoscopic disease activity scoring systems for ulcerative colitis and ileal pouches. Participants will gain practical insights into applying validated scoring systems in everyday clinical practice, research settings, and multidisciplinary care.
Attending this course will enable participants to apply validated endoscopic scoring systems consistently in routine practice, improving the accuracy of disease activity assessment in ulcerative colitis and pouch disorders. Enhanced familiarity with scoring indices such as the Mayo Endoscopic Score, UCEIS, and PDAI will support more standardised reporting, facilitate clearer communication within multidisciplinary teams, and improve documentation for both clinical care and research.

Participants will also gain practical experience interpreting endoscopic findings through case-based learning, helping them recognise subtle mucosal changes and differentiate disease severity. This knowledge supports evidence-based treatment decisions, including therapy escalation, monitoring response to biologics, and assessing mucosal healing targets.
For trainees and early-career clinicians, the course provides a structured framework for learning IBD endoscopic assessment, strengthening both procedural interpretation skills and understanding of how endoscopic findings guide patient management.
