International advanced-endoscopy activity
This section documents independently verifiable faculty and teaching activities.
ENDO 2026 · 5th World Congress of GI Endoscopy
At ENDO 2026 in Cape Town, Professor Noel was scheduled as a guest presenter for “Evidence Beyond the Technology” (CMR/Marcus Medical robotic workshop, 23 September) and “Next Generation Cholangioscopy – Innovation in Visualisation and New Possibilities” (Micro-Tech symposium, 24 September). He was also invited to serve as a hands-on trainer for EUS-guided biliary drainage (24 September) and cholangioscopy stone management/electrohydraulic lithotripsy (25 September).
Official congress website →Presentation roles are documented in the official participation letter; hands-on training roles are documented as invitations.
EURO-EUS · Santiago de Compostela
The official EURO-EUS 2026 programme lists Colin Noel as a chair of the 14:30–16:15 live demonstration session on 6 March 2026.
Official programme →Women in Endoscopy
The official Endoscopy on Air mentorship pages list Colin Noel, Associate Professor, University of the Free State, among the international mentors for both the 2025 and 2026 programmes focused substantially on hepatobiliary interventional endoscopy.
2026 programme →IECED / Pentax live endoscopy
The official programme lists Colin Byron Noel (South Africa) among faculty transmitting live cases from the Pentax–IECED training centre and lists a pancreatobiliary lecture on papillary balloon dilation and lithotripsy.
Official programme →Rocky Mountain Interventional Endoscopy
Professor Noel participated in Rocky Mountain Interventional Endoscopy at the University of Colorado in 2025, contributing to advanced endoscopy teaching and live procedural activity.
EURO-EUS 2026 — Live Endoscopy
The official EURO-EUS 2026 scientific programme documents Professor Colin Noel as chair of a Live Demonstration session. The selected event photographs below document participation within the live procedural and international faculty environment.
Robotic HPB Surgery & Versius
Robotic surgery forms part of Professor Noel’s HPB surgical practice and teaching activity. His professional record includes robotic HPB surgery using the Versius platform and Versius robotic-surgery proctorship. In the final public version, externally verifiable manufacturer/distributor statements will remain linked to proctorship and programme claims.
Why this matters to the website
These appointments provide external evidence of international participation in advanced EUS and ERCP education. The website therefore describes an international faculty and teaching profile in advanced therapeutic endoscopy without converting that evidence into unsupported claims of superiority.
