Biography

Colonoscopy comfort, quality and safety to highest standard Polyp detection and removal >25% for adenomas Bowel cancer screening standard colonoscopy also requires greater than 95% completion rate to caecum and complication rates less than 1:10 000 for perforation. These parameters should be audited independently and continuously. I believe they should be available to patients who are offered colonoscopy Having been part of the team to introduce these Key Performance Indicators (KPi) to Rotorua Public hospital, I can proudly say I meet these standards.
