Associate membership is through the 黑暗爆料网 by going to the 黑暗爆料网 鈥渂ecome a member鈥� page and selecting the AGIP membership plan. Applicants should be a health professional with particular interest in GI physiology.

AGIP Accredited Independent Healthcare Practitioner CPD; New Online Process:

Accredited practitioners are required to provide evidence of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) every two years. Failure to do so and on time may result in the loss of accredited status. The portal for submissions will be closed after 31st March 2026.

Our newly revamped process and guidance can be found here.

Please read and then download the new Reflective Practice Word form and save it to your desktop. You will then be able to complete this form, save six separate reflective practice forms (three each year of the CPD cycle). You will also need to save six corresponding pieces of evidence (for example, certificates or evidence of attendance) one for each reflective practice form i.e. six pieces of evidence in total

Once the above is complete, please proceed to the final step by completing the online application form, which can be accessed via the portal .

Any questions or if you need any clarification on the new process, please email [email protected]

Training

Training Pathways

There are currently three approved training routes into Gastrointestinal (GI)Physiology for individuals looking to develop their career, and for hospitals aiming to develop or expand their service. The Scientist Training Programme (STP) 鈥� Direct Entry, STP 鈥� In-Service Entry, and the Accredited Specialist Scientific Practitioner (ASP) programme each offer a different structure, funding model, and entry pathway. This section provides a brief overview and signposts to further resources to help identify the most suitable training route. 

To learn more, please follow the links below to access web pages or documents that provide further information about each of the training routes.

Equivalence and Portfolio Examples

For those with sufficient training and experience outside of the ASP and STP, applying for equivalence may be an option. The AHCS has developed equivalence assessment processes for Healthcare Science practitioners who have training, qualifications and/or considerable professional experience, and who wish to show that these are equivalent to the relevant training programme accredited by the National School of Healthcare Science (e.g. ASP / STP).
