WEO convened a working party to develop guidelines to help healthcare institutions in ensuring high quality endoscopic care. Chaired by Dr Douglas Faigel and Dr Peter Cotton, the working party of interested endoscopists from around the world sought to create international standards for credentialing and quality assurance. The resultant London WEO position statement was presented to the World Congress of Gastroenterology in London, on 25 November 2009, and published in the Journal Endoscopy in December, 2009. The position statement provides guidance on granting and renewal of privileges, determination of competency, and quality assurance and improvement.
