Globally, the provision of gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is grounded in quality assurance processes to safeguard patient safety. In the UK, the Joint Advisory Group on GI Endoscopy (JAG) oversees this function and its Global Rating Scale is a robust model for high-level quality assurance [1]. In addition, UK endoscopy benefits from comprehensive national datasets from its Bowel Cancer Screening Programme [2] and the National Endoscopy Database [3], enabling close scrutiny of key performance indicators.
