- The endoscopy Global Rating Scale (GRS) is an established quality improvement tool for adult endoscopy services in the UK, and this study aims to create a similar tool for paediatric endoscopy, called the paediatric GRS (P-GRS).
- Collaboration between the British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (BSPGHAN) and the Joint Advisory Group on Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (JAG) led to a nationwide pilot of the P-GRS at 9 centers, where data was collected in 2016.
- The pilot showed that the P-GRS effectively highlighted areas for improvement in paediatric services, as participating centers identified challenges, developed quality improvement plans, and enhanced patient involvement.
