Scientific title	Walk in nasal endoscopy (WINES) study: a pilot evaluation of the safety and feasibility, and cost savings of introducing a radically new approach to upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy
Study objectives	Evaluation of safety and feasibility of a walk in two week cancer waiting list upper GI endoscopy using nasal endoscope and only one assistant. A single consultant ATC doing the procedures.
Ethics approval(s)	Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Cancer: Gastrointestinal
Intervention	Nasal endoscopy is currently performed in the endoscopy unit at Derby City General Hospital but in a procedure analogous to conventional endoscopy using two nurse assistants. The study will be a pilot randomised controlled study comparing conventional with nasal (ultraslim endoscopy) to assess primarily the safety and feasibility of performing nasal endoscopy with just one assistant and the patient in a seated position.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure	Primary endpoints will be the proportion of cases in which this procedure could be performed and the number of early to late (within 1 week) complications. Assessment of safety will be by pro forma records of complications during endoscopy and prior to discharge and by using a patient questionnaire administered 1 week later. The endoscopist will assess the feasibility of the nasal procedure. Completeness of endoscopy and visualisation of the duodenum, antrum, body and fundus of the stomach and oesophagus will be recorded.
Secondary outcome measures	Secondary endpoints will be a questionnaire of the patients acceptability of the procedure and a preliminary assessment of the savings in staff costs of this procedure.
