Guideline Library
CPGs and Consensus Reports are developed to be of assistance to practicing clinicians and are not intended to be the only approach to the management of clinical problems, nor are they intended to be considered as a ‘standard of care’. The CAG recognizes that clinical circumstances may at times justify an approach different from that outlined in a practice guideline. It is also recognized that new developments in medical research and clinical practice may require subsequent changes to the practice guideline.
Guidelines In-Progress
Currently the Practice Affairs sub-committee is developing the following guidelines:
- Non-variceal non-peptic ulcer upper gastrointestinal bleeding
- Post-polypectomy surveillance
