Practical Paediatric GI Motility Course

Evelina London is part of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and includes the services in Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Women’s services and our children’s services at the Brompton and in the community.We offer a unique range of services from antenatal diagnosis through to childhood, into adolescence and on, into adult life.Children's services at Evelina London are located alongside St Thomas' Hospital, but we also provide care to young patients in the Lambeth and Southwark community.

Evelina London

A practical hands on two days course hosted by the GI motility team at Evelina London Children’s Hospital.

Guy's and St Thomas' Education Centre

Study Days

A collection of our standalone study days.

This practical two day course will cover the basics in paediatric GI motility investigations, as well as touching on the more advanced and state of the art procedures. Target audienceThe course is aimed at all clinicians wanting to expand their knowledge around motility investigations, and become competent in carrying these investigations out in their own centres. Programme outlineThe first day will be dedicated to pH impedance including short lectures, demonstrations, and hands on interactive learning opportunities on study set up, equipment calibration, troubleshooting, analysis and reporting. We will also discuss the links between pH impedance studies and manometries as well as touching on other upper GI testing.The second day will cover oesophageal and anorectal manometry as well as electrogastrograms and EndoFLIP (including topography). The day will include short lectures covering the theory as well as demonstrations and hands on interactive sessions on set up, practical tips, analysis and reporting.Participants can choose to attend one or both days.
