Learning points

  1. Timing is a key factor in adequate bowel preparation. Most endoscopy units in the UK split bowel preparation for afternoon procedures, but not for morning procedures.
  2. Patient adherence impacts bowel preparation quality, which can be improved by enhanced educational interventions.
  3. In the setting of previous poor preparation, high volume PEG and adjuvant stimulant laxatives improve cleansing and the rate of adequate preparation at subsequent colonoscopy.
