Correction: Establishing an Effective Approach for Implementing ESG within the NHS

Overview

This article corrects the author list to include Jenny Abraham, who contributed to the research. The study focuses on implementing endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) within the NHS using a nominal group technique.

Background

Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an emerging minimally invasive procedure for treating obesity. Establishing standardized pathways for ESG implementation within healthcare systems like the NHS is crucial for ensuring quality and safety in patient care.

Data Highlights

No numerical or trial data is presented in this article.

Key Findings

• Jenny Abraham has been added as a co-author due to her contributions to the study.
• The article emphasizes the importance of a structured approach to ESG implementation in the NHS.
• Consensus on ESG procedures aligns with NICE guidelines for clinical governance and patient selection.
• Multidisciplinary training and data capture are essential components of the proposed ESG pathway.
• Standardized protocols are necessary to ensure the safety and efficacy of ESG procedures.

Clinical Implications

The inclusion of Jenny Abraham as a co-author highlights the collaborative nature of research in developing clinical pathways.

Conclusion

The correction of the author list underscores the importance of accurate authorship in research.
