Colonoscopy Recertification

GESA has introduced a voluntary recertification program in colonoscopy. The program provides for triennial recertification.

A list of the practitioners who have already completed recertification may be viewed here.

Recertification is designed to support practitioners in:

• maintaining their expertise in colonoscopy;
• continuing to develop their skills through subsidised training opportunities and
• increasing safety standards and the quality of care being delivered to patients.

The program has been developed over several years and brings Australia into line with international trends and with increasing consumer expectations regarding medical professionals.

The program incorporates:

• a formal Recertification program based around an online logbook (fee-free until June 2018 with Department of Health funding) and
• increased training and education opportunities for practicing colonoscopists.

More information about the program and how to register may be found here.
