The UK has few nurse endoscopists despite their introduction. This review examines patient and physician anxiety regarding nurse practitioners performing gastrointestinal endoscopies and discusses their future role.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Healthcare policy
  • Nursing practice

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal endoscopies in Great Britain and Ireland are predominantly performed by surgeons, physicians, or radiologists.
  • The concept of the 'nurse endoscopist' was introduced by the British Society of Gastroenterology Working Party.
  • Limited adoption of the nurse endoscopist role has been observed in UK healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review patient and physician anxiety surrounding the implementation of nurse practitioner endoscopists.
  • To discuss the current role and future prospects of nurse practitioner endoscopists within the UK.
  • To explore barriers and facilitators to the adoption of nurse-led endoscopy services.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies and guidelines on nurse endoscopists.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of reported patient and physician attitudes towards nurse-led endoscopy.
  • Discussion of policy implications and future research directions.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified significant levels of anxiety among both patients and physicians regarding nurse practitioners performing gastrointestinal endoscopies.
    • Highlighted a discrepancy between the potential benefits of nurse endoscopists and their current limited integration into UK practice.
    • Indicated a need for further investigation into patient and physician perceptions and educational strategies.

    Conclusions:

    • The role of the nurse endoscopist in the UK faces challenges related to acceptance and integration.
    • Addressing anxieties through education and clear guidelines is crucial for the successful implementation of nurse practitioner endoscopists.
    • Further research is warranted to optimize the contribution of nurse endoscopists to gastrointestinal care in the UK.
