Also, we quite enjoyed a thrilling desert safari and camel rides before hav-ing dinner at starlight. However, above all, the TTT has helped me to build a profes-sional network with colleagues across the world. It was interest-ing to meet and chat with more than 30 gastroenterologists from Asia, Africa, Americas, Australia and Europe and learn more about other health systems and training programs worldwide. An interest-ing noteworthy learning point was how to develop MCQ and podcasts to support teaching. I found a few differences from our clinical practice in the UK such as the structure of training programs, the use and access to national guidelines, payment for the health services schemes, the wide use of ultrasound as part of training, staff attitudes and various levels of job satisfaction driven by financial private sectors in some countries. Almost without exception, all faculty, administrative and support staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Developing such a program in the UK would be very valuable. Thank you to all who helped in this course. Winners of the TTT 2016 Teambuilding Olympics.
