BSGIE national survey : The endoscopy unit

Transcription

1 BSGIE national survey : The endoscopy unit Dear Colleagues, The BSGIE organises a national survey on the organisation, equipment and activity of the endoscopic units in our hospitals. The results of this survey will be presented during the next annual symposium of the BSGIE which will take place in Gembloux on the 26 th January, The first session of the symposium will address the theme of the endoscopic unit organisation today and tomorrow. If we want to know what the future can bring us in this matter, it is very important to have a clear understanding of where we stand today. We therefore call upon your goodwill and ask you to answer the next questionnaire. This will be also available online very soon. You will be informed by . One questionnaire (and only one) is warranted by hospital center. You can answer it online or send it to us by post. The deadline for answering the survey is 1 st December, In order to get a representative picture of the subject, it is of the utmost importance that a maximum of centers participate to this survey. Because it will take you some time to research and fill in all the items, we suggest that every team assigns a person who would be in charge of the questionnaire. The same person will also call upon his/her colleagues for data collection. The questionnaire can hence be filled in, in a single session. Needless to say, anonymity of all answers is totally guaranteed by the BSGIE. We are trusting this survey will gather positive responses from all of you. We are looking forward to taking your feedback into account, which will help those of us who are planning a renovation of their endoscopic unit. Dr De Koninck X. For the BSGIE Service de gastro-entérologie, Avenue Reine Fabiola, Ottignies. [email protected] 1

2 BSGIE national survey : The endoscopy unit One questionnaire (and only one) is warranted by hospital center. If your institution encompasses several hospitals, one questionnaire should be filled in for each geographical site. As several questions need researches, we suggest sharing the job with colleagues, taking your time to fill in all the items and than - either go to the online questionnaire : and validate it in one session. - either send the paper questionnaire to Dr X De Koninck Service de gastro-entérologie Clinique Saint Pierre Avenue Reine Fabiola, Ottignies Deadline for answering: December 1, 2007 General information s : 1) Were you assigned by your colleagues to fill in this questionnaire?
