GIEQs At GIEQs we believe in quality in endoscopy.

Pronounced 'geeks', GIEQs is dedicated to applying technical competence and published evidence to everything from a diagnostic gastroscopy to a circumferential ESD

03/09/2026

Three questions before you resect a large non-pedunculated colorectal polyp.

1. Blink. Under white light, does it look worrying at first glance? Six gross features: spontaneous bleeding, extra redness, depression, fold deformation, ulceration, chicken-skin mucosa. Two or more is positive.

2. Demarcated area. Under virtual chromoendoscopy, does one region stand out from the rest of the lesion?

3. CRIS. Inside that area, do the vessels lose their regularity? Regular, regularly irregular, irregular. Only the first is reassuring.

A positive call is a cancer-risk flag: consider multidisciplinary discussion before piecemeal endoscopic resection.

The 54-second animation below walks through the sequence. It comes from a prospective, four-centre study led by Maria Eva Argenziano at UZ Gent, with assessors from trainee to expert scoring lesions live before resection. Results are in preparation for publication; we will share them here when they are out.

Early bird has closed — but the value case for GIEQs VII hasn't.

Standard registration is open, and the virtual stream remains the best-value way in: full-HD dual-stream of both studios, real-time Q&A, and 3-month catch-up recordings — from €115 (doctors) and €75 (students/nurses). Already a GIEQs PRO member? Virtual is 70% off. ESGE members take 20% off live or virtual.

You don't have to be in the room to get the value. But the room is filling.

Today is the last day for early-bird pricing on GIEQs VII. 25% off ends at midnight.

8–9 October, Ghent — Value for Money in Everyday Endoscopy. 29 sessions, live cases, 150 seats + virtual, plus the hands-on pre-course on 7 October. Live registration still includes the €180 GIEQs PRO year.

This is the best price you'll see. Book before midnight.

48 hours. Early-bird pricing for GIEQs VII closes at midnight on 1 September. After that, standard rates apply.

The maths until then: live 2-day from €270 (trainee/nurse), and every live ticket includes a 1-year GIEQs PRO subscription worth €180 — so a chunk of the fee comes back to you in year-round learning. ESGE members take a further 20%; groups of 20+ take 50%.

If your unit has been "meaning to book," this is the moment. Early-bird 25% off ends 1 Sep → gieqs.com/vii

Cold versus hot EMR is not simply a recurrence contest.

In a model based on 1,516 randomised lesions, cold EMR had more recurrence but less delayed bleeding and perforation. Across the six-month pathway it was approximately $287 cheaper per patient and marginally more effective.

The exact economics will differ in Europe, and the model made favourable assumptions about retreatment. The useful lesson survives: compare the entire pathway, not one procedural endpoint.

The GIEQs VII polypectomy masterclass will make that choice lesion by lesion.

The numbers that convince management.

One GIEQs VII session is built entirely around the business case for an EMR service: equipment and training as capital investment, revenue versus cost of an EMR list, and the throughput modelling that turns "we'd like to do this" into a proposal your manager will actually sign. Building the capability locally avoids the cost cascade of referring every complex polyp onward.

Value for money isn't only a clinical argument — it's a budget one. GIEQs VII makes both.

A €20 stool test before a €500 endoscopy.

Faecal calprotectin has ~93% sensitivity for active IBD inflammation — enough to triage who actually needs a scope and who can be managed and monitored without one. Paired with intestinal ultrasound, it becomes a genuine gatekeeper: fewer surveillance endoscopies that change nothing, more capacity for the ones that do.

GIEQs VII's IBD sessions treat calprotectin and IUS as the value levers, they are — not as a way to avoid endoscopy, but to aim it.

A blood test may be easier to offer. It is not yet a better colorectal cancer screening test.

In direct comparisons, pooled sensitivity for CRC was 36% with blood-based tests and 65% with FIT. For precancerous lesions, the corresponding figures were 15% and 29%. Current blood tests were also not cost-effective against FIT.

The immediate value question is therefore not "How do we replace stool?" It is "How do we make FIT easier to complete, return and follow up?"

That is the discussion in the FIT-based screening session at GIEQs VII.

There are worse places to spend two days than Ghent.

Medieval squares, a canal network you can walk in an evening, and one of the most underrated food scenes in Europe — Ghent is the kind of city where the conference dinner competes with the programme. It's also compact: hotels, restaurants and the GIEQs Studio are all within walking distance, and Brussels Airport is 30 minutes by train.

Come for the value-for-money endoscopy. Stay for the city.
