ESCP Safe-anastomosis Programme

This ESCP Safe-anastomosis Programme includes five modules.

 

Key principles of the ESCP Safe-anastomosis programme:

  • Tap ‘Commence Module‘ to view each in turn. After you have completed each pillar, tick ‘Complete‘ to track your progress.
  • In each section, click on the triangle icons (▲) in order to ‘drop down’ core information.
  • During the module, you can make notes using the ‘Personal Notes‘ function. These can be printed for your reference at the end of each module.
  • During the programme, click on Related paper links and Blue buttons to learn more about a topic and review the evidence base for yourself.
  • CPD Certification for this programme is available upon completion of all five modules.
  • We recommend that once you start a module, you complete it in the same sitting. This takes approximately 20-30 minutes per module. You do not need to complete all the modules at once.
  • The modules will be adapted to evolve if new evidence becomes available.
  • During and after completion of the programme please consider raising discussion points on our ‘Forum’.
  • Alternatively, please feedback any comments or suggestions to: eagle@contacts.bham.ac.uk
