Zedu Weekly Wrap - 12 December 2025

We’re heading into the last week of 2025…

and everyone here – Zedu crew and learners alike – are looking towards holiday season (prepared or not!!). Based on the number of shopping days left I am not ready by any stretch! The local servo may get a late night visit on the 24th 🙂

Always ready with the latest free ultrasound news though – highlights in the news this week 🚀✨

A nice piece in Resuscitation Plus exploring “Remote guidance and focused point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) training for cardiopulmonary instability assessment by novice sonographers” (6 December)
Amit Pawa has created another go-to video – this time on the Rectus Sheath Block (6 December)

About to brace for a shopping onslaught!!

See you next week for the last edition of 2025.

P.S. – our office will be closed over the period 19 December to 11 January.

Other people’s money: why healthcare systems fail to reinvest in POCUS

Make 2026 your year of ultrasound and check out our range of
scheduled and one-on-one options that will get you scanning like a pro.

Plus – as the cultural capital of Australia – why not tie in a bit of training with a touch of AO tennis, speed through at the Melbourne GP or have a laugh at the International Comedy Festival.

If you know the value of protected learning time, secure your place early.

P.S. – don’t forget – if something doesn’t quite fit your learning objectives or availability we can design and deliver a program that meets your needs. Don’t tell everyone though – availability is limited.
