Our ongoing multicentre research initiatives advancing gastroenterology practice across London and the UK.

Dose & Dispose: The Hidden Cost of Wasted Sedation in Endoscopy

Write-Up Phase

We are conducting a multicentre, retrospective service evaluation assessing sedation-disposal practices over a two-week period. The primary aim is to quantify the amount of wasted IV sedation agents (midazolam, fentanyl, and buscopan) during endoscopic procedures, with a view to identifying opportunities to reduce waste and improve sustainability. This has been presented as an e-Poster at BSG 2026!

Objectives

  • Quantify wasted IV sedation agents across endoscopy units
  • Identify opportunities to reduce pharmaceutical waste
  • Improve sustainability practices in endoscopy

BOS - Endoscopic Dilation of Benign Oesophageal Strictures

Completed

A large multicentre evaluation of real-world practice in endoscopic dilation of benign oesophageal strictures. This project has been presented at the MESSE conference in Berlin in October 2025 and ESGE days May 2026. It involves 11+ centres across the UK.

Objectives

  • Evaluate real-world dilation practices across UK centres
  • Assess clinical outcomes and safety profiles
  • Identify best practices and standardisation opportunities
