Study objectives	The project will evaluate the acceptability, effectiveness, outcome and cost of upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy undertaken by nurses in hospital. We plan to compare: 1. The acceptability to patients of these procedures when undertaken by nurses or doctors 2. The quality of the process of these procedures when undertaken by nurses or doctors 3. The outcome for, and value to, patients of these procedures when undertaken by nurses or doctors 4. The resources consumed by the NHS and patients through these procedures when undertaken by nurses or doctors. We also plan to develop an economic model to predict the effect of nurse endoscopies on the labour market and training requirements for clinical nurse specialists.
