Learn how to perform bedside US effectively and efficiently. 

This is a series of innovative courses which will educate novices and experts essential skills in image acquisition and interpretation for a variety of Point of Care US (PoCUS) modules. Learn how to ultrasound on normal models and then practise your skills on patients with real pathology. 

These clinically based courses will teach you how to use US to diagnose the critically unwell patient. 

With a mix of  didactic lectures and hands on sessions with models you will learn to get on axis images with helpful tips from regular POCUS users and educators.

Following this, you will learn about common pathological conditions causing acute patient deterioration and how to identify the features of pathology by US examination of real patients.  

Finally, you will have a rapid fire image review and case scenarios to apply your US knowledge to the real world.
