“…The parameters of this scale were initially described and validated by Reznick et al [19] and were specifically modified for the purpose of evaluating endoscopic skills. In its current form, it has not been validated as an assessment tool, but it has previously been found that interobserver agreement is good when equally experienced observers evaluate the performance of trainees on endoscopic and laparoscopic tasks [10,17]. Since we acquired the data reported in the present study, other scoring systems for endoscopy have been proposed and evaluated [18].…”

“…Previous attempts at objective assessment using score card OGD based on video reviews of endoscopies in biosimulation (the Erlangen Endo-Trainer) model revealed substantial inter-observer variability. 56 Many of the current training programmes for nurse endoscopists utilise video reviews of endoscopic procedures to assess performance of nurse endoscopists and certify them competent.…”

HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics where it has identified key gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. Suggestions for topics are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public, service-users groups and professional bodies such as Royal Colleges and NHS Trusts.Research suggestions are carefully considered by panels of independent experts (including service users) whose advice results in a ranked list of recommended research priorities. The HTA Programme then commissions the research team best suited to und...

“…An ideal assessment method would be one that is blinded and objective. One such method has been developed, but was found to have poor interobserver reliability [9]. Further work is being undertaken to validate the blinded VES assessment in real procedures before it is used to demonstrate the effect of training on the simulator.…”
