title: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography training in the United Kingdom: A critical review.
abstract: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography training used to be in virtually all district general hospitals, resulting in a large number of trainees with an inadequate case load and achieving poor levels of skill. Training is now restricted to a small number of trainees working in approved units. Continuous audit of outcomes and the appointment of a training lead in the unit are essential. Use of the global rating scale helps clinicians advise hospital administration on the priorities for a quality training program.
