Emergency Medicine 2 Day Ultrasound Course

Category: Training - Emergency Medicine Teaching Days

Date: February 1st 2018 until February 2nd 2018

Location: Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton

 

Ultrasound Course Supervised Scanning… Level 1 competencies with focus on echo + Optional sign-off on day 2.

Date: Thursday 1st & Friday 2nd February 2018

Venue: Musgrove Park Hospital, Academic Centre

Cost: £390 – (includes 2 wonderful hot lunches from the renowned Moreish Catering)

Who’s it for… almost ready for assessment, but having difficulty with certain aspects? – typically we
find the area of greatest difficulty is echo so we’ll be placing greatest emphasis on this.
almost ready but would like to optimise your chance of success by having a couple of
days of scanning immediately before?
those who have previously completed a theory course, then fallen out of practice
those who aren’t working towards testing (perhaps you already have level 1) but would
like to boost your skills

What it’s not… If you’ve never picked up an ultrasound probe before (thankfully an ever-dwindling
population in Emergency Medicine), we cannot get you from zero to sign-off in 2 days.
If you would like advice on how to access theory & take your first steps – please get in
touch & I will direct you to resources before attending.

Content: 2 days of supervised scanning
Practical teaching on the 4 modalities of level one – with a particular focus on echo
Testing for level 1 one sign-off on the afternoon of the second day for those submitting
approved logbooks prior to arrival (places for sign-off will be limited)

Interested? Places will be strictly limited to ensure optimal ratios of machines & supervisors
so I would urge you to act quickly.

What to do now? email me to let me know you’re interested drpaulbaines@me.com
I look forward to seeing you there
