Zedu Weekly Wrap – 21 August 2026

Suean has been a busy bee this week…

having made a quick excursion to Manila to teach at the Philippines Children’s Medical Center. She had an amazing time working with the team there, and was generously looked after from start to finish – including being provided an amazing array of dessert treats throughout her time there. Needless to say, every member of the team has put their hands up for the next excursion 😀

While our globetrotter trotted, the inaugural date for our newest course – ultrasound for gynaecological brachytherapy – is almost fully booked. This world leading training program is in great demand, so keep an eye out for more dates soon.

In other news from the week, highlights include:

  • Infective Endocarditis on Aortic Valve: From Diagnosis to Cardiac Surgical Intervention—Narrative Review – Journal of Clinical Medicine (21 August)
  • Intra- and Inter-examiner Reliability of Diaphragmatic Ultrasound Parameters in People with Stable Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Physical Therapy Research (21 August)

Checking out – keep your probes clean and the gel warm.
