NCEPOD conclusions Major bleed should be admitted to hospital with 24/7 access to endoscopy/ir etc Those that do not have 24/7 services should develop FORMAL networks Upper AND lower GI bleeding should be managed by single team Major bleeds discuss with responsible consultant within 1 hour On going management of major GI bleeding managed by said consultant All patients with major GI bleed should have documented rebleed plan
