Randomized Study of Train the Colonoscopy Leaders Course Versus Audit and Feedback on Colonoscopy Quality Indicators

Screening centre leaders randomized to the training intervention group will be invited to take part in a train-the-leaders course. The Train-the-leaders course will consist of three phases: (i) pre-training assessment, (ii) hands-on-training and (iii) post-training evaluation and feedback. The Train-the-leaders course will be run in polish by the team from the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Memorial Cancer Center and Institute on Oncology, Warsaw, which was trained in delivering such intervention by experts from the United Kingdom.

Screening centre leaders randomized to the feedback group will receive (by e-mail and conventional mail) feedback on their individual screening colonoscopy quality indicators (adenoma detection rate and ceacal intubation rate) measured for the 2011 edition of the national screening program. The results will be presented in a league table in order to enable comparison with anonymous results of all endoscopists who performed at least 30 colonoscopies within the screening program. In addition, a link to a webpage containing data on individual and overall colonoscopy quality indicators over the last four years of the screening program will be provided.
