ENDOSOCOPY & ENDOSURGERY

PgC Programme

This programme will provide you with a thorough grounding in both theory and hands-on skills needed to start
introducing endoscopy into practice.
Attend the full programme and successfully pass all ISVPS assessments to gain a General Practitioner Certificate
(GPCert) and then progress towards a Postgraduate Certificate (PgC) qualification by taking the Advanced Practitioner
Module delivered by HAU.
A dedicated Programme Tutor will support you throughout your PgC programme to ensure a rewarding and successful
learning journey.
Currently the RCVS does not list Endoscopy and Endosurgery as a designated Advanced Practitioner subject so it is not possible to apply
for the Advanced Practitioner Status with the RCVS.
