Deep sedation and anaesthesia in endoscopy

How has sedation in endoscopy evolved over the years? What’s the current practice and how it varies within the UK? Dr George Webster, consultant gastroenterologist and hepatologist at the University College London Hospitals, answers these questions in conversation with Frontline Gastroenterology’s Trainee Associate Editor James Maurice (Imperial College London). They also explore the details of a paper recently published by the journal and the training opportunities for young gastroenterologists. Listen until the end for details of the upcoming British Society of Gastroenterology Endoscopy Live 2019, which will be held on the 7th and 8th of March in Gateshead, UK (https://www.bsg.org.uk/events/bsg-endoscopy-live.html).
