Endoscopists training at Cardiff University’s Welsh Institute for Minimal Access Therapy (WIMAT) Endoscopy skills laboratory at University Hospital Llandough are to benefit from enhanced facilities.
This follows the supply, to the facility, of two new fully digital flexible endoscopy stacks and associated components from Fujifilm by its sole UK distributor, Imotech Medical. Valued at around £30,000, the equipment will be used to train endoscopists using high-quality simulation models. WIMAT is the regional administration centre for JAG-approved endoscopy training courses in Wales. As a Royal College of Surgeons Accredited Training Centre, it offers courses from the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and hosts training provided by leading medical suppliers. Imotech has supplied the ‘endoscopy skills lab’ with two fully digital endoscopy stacks, including processor, light source, monitor, ‘scopes’, and trolley.
