To ask the Scottish Government what action it will take to increase awareness of the medical condition, eosinophilic oesophagitis, in NHS Scotland, in both primary and secondary care settings.
The Scottish Government recognises the importance of improving awareness of gastrointestinal conditions, including eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE), across NHS Scotland and is committed to ensuring that people living with these conditions receive safe, effective, person-centred care.
We expect healthcare professionals in both primary and secondary care to remain informed about emerging evidence and best practice for the diagnosis and management of EoE and to maintain and update their clinical knowledge and understanding through continuous professional development.
NHS Education for Scotland provides a range of educational resources and training programmes for healthcare professionals that encompass gastrointestinal conditions, including EoE.
