Endoscopy procedures are an integral part in cancer screening programs as well as detection and therapeutic interventions for a number of gastrointestinal conditions. Technological developments have significantly expanded in the last 30 years. In this context Endoscopy nurses are responsible not only for individualised, comprehensive and complex patient care, but also advanced technical skills during endoscopic interventions, which require close monitoring of patients to ensure safety. Infection prevention and control is vital throughout the patient journey and this also includes the decontamination processes of endoscopes and accessories. Staff involved in patient care and decontamination processes need training and knowledge to prevent patient and self-contamination. In addition, advanced endoscopy nursing skills have been established for the treatment of various gastrointestinal diseases. These complex tasks require specialised knowledge and training to ensure patient safety and positive outcomes in patient care. The European Society of Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Nurses and Associates (ESGENA) has developed important documents, like the European Job profile and the European Core Curriculum for Endoscopy nursing, followed by statements on staffing levels and nurse endoscopists. Since its foundation in 1996, ESGENA has been establishing a close co-operation with ESGE and has co-authored various guidelines, statements and curricula on hygiene, sedation, quality assurance and endoscopy techniques. ESGENA also developed a close co-operation with ESNO. Consequently, this textbook is published within ESNO series.

This textbook of gastrointestinal endoscopy takes a new look at endoscopic training. In particular, it explains the recently developed guidelines for training and practice, including indications for procedures, conscious sedation, disinfection and obtaining informed consent.

Ever since the invention of the fiberoptic endoscope in 1888, gastrointestinal endoscopy has grown increasingly popular in day-to-day patient management. Most recently, a variety of therapeutic procedures are also being performed through the endoscope. With increasing technological advances, new endo scopic procedures will be appearing on the horizon. It, therefore, becomes extremely relevant for the gastrointestinal nurse or assistant to be familiar with various endoscopic procedures. Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Related Procedures will be a useful and practical guide in the making of a qualified gastrointestinal assistant. This book is notable for its elegant style, illustrations, detailed account of procedures, and especially the instructions on patient care. Discussions on physical preparation of gastrointestinal procedures, helpful hints and instrument care add to the value of this book. The psychological impact on the patient undergoing endo scopic procedures and the nurse's role in alleviating 'the fear of the unknown' also is properly covered in the text. It is refreshing to see a nursing perspective in the writing of this text. Throughout the whole book, one can feel a warm and humane approach towards patients with gastrointestinal disease. All these and more are, of course, a result of Sister Morag Ravenscroft's vast experience along with the guidance of Dr Charles Swan. It is a textbook worth reading and relishing.
