87% of delegates from our latest course said it "exceeded their expectations".

"Great course for the general physician, excellent course, would recommend to colleagues."

"Very useful and relevant course. Much more confident, especially at thoracic US."

"Very useful. Lots of practical sessions were useful. Handout of main things to look for useful. Very useful, especially the normal and pathology echo lectures."

"Well structured, many opportunities for hands on experience. Some stations may have been too short (allocate more time if possible). Overall excellent course. My 4’s will improve to 5’s with practice."

“Detailed, well structured course, extremely relevant, loved the echo session, need machines at our workplace, feel empowered, echos make so much more sense now. Now will do the e-learning, well presented lectures, clear power point slides.”

“Excellent course for all of those involved in management of patients in acute setting."

“Really enjoyed the day. Very useful introduction, will aim to practice further. Only thing would be good to add peripheral vascular access, even if visualise only, or model it in same way as pleural tap and try and get to grips with cannulas and probe."

"Excellent course, well conducted, got ample time to practice."

Hi Tig,

Difficult to know for sure with current restrictions but will keep you updated. It would be great to start to run things later in the year.

Hello, I’ve been trying to book a place on the NeuroUltrasound course on the 17th of December but haven’t received any reply. Could you confirm if the course is running and if spaces are available?
Thanks!
