Gastroenterology
Welcome to the Gastroenterology Yorkshire Deanery website.
The Yorkshire Deanery covers North, East and West Yorkshire across to North East Lincolnshire and serves a population of 3.8 million, which ranges from a large number of inner city conurbations with a multi cultural population to rural communities covering the Dales, Moors and Wolds in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. Within the Yorkshire Deanery there are 2 medical schools, Hull York Medical School and Leeds Medical School incorporating Bradford.
The website is designed to introduce you to the Yorkshire Training Scheme and for you to take the opportunity to explore the different hospitals you could work in and the type of training which is available. The hou spitals in the region offer a large breadth of training in gastroenterology and endoscopy in addition to different sub-specialities alongside training in acute and general medicine. Several Hospitals have the benefit of magnetic tracking devices for colonoscopy which will aid training. Others have dedicated endoscopy consultants. Hull & East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust is a JAG approved training centre for gastrointestinal endoscopy and offers courses in both lower and upper GI endoscopy.
