About this listen
One patient died and 25 others were found to have been harmed when a nurse was permitted to perform complex medical procedures in the UK.
Gastroenterologist Dr. Kaveh Hoda joins me to discuss the necessary training to perform an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a procedure most commonly used to remove gallstones.
From the BBC article: 68 patients underwent ERCPs with a 'single consultant nurse', and a review found that 58 received "substandard" care from the service between 2016-21, including 25 who "suffered some degree of harm". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clym224qgdyo
As nurses and PAs continue to advocate for more privileges, could this happen in the US?
