Be at the forefront of modern medicine. Bedside ultrasound provides clinicians with the advantage of making critical decisions instantly, without the delays associated with laboratory testing or diagnostic imaging. Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) enhances clinical judgement, improves patient outcomes, and strengthens diagnostic confidence across a range of acute settings.
Who Should Attend
This course is designed for all medical professionals who use or plan to use ultrasound in their daily practice. It will be especially beneficial to Trainees, Consultants, Advanced Clinical Practitioners, and Associate Healthcare Professionals working in:
- Acute Medicine
- Critical Care
- Emergency Medicine
- Anaesthetics
Skills Gained
By the end of this course, participants will:
- Understand the normal ultrasonographic anatomy of key body regions.
- Recognise and identify common pathologies using ultrasound.
- Gain confidence to apply and develop POCUS skills in real clinical environments.
