Zedu Weekly Wrap - 11 March 2022

A watershed week this week…

with Suean actually able to break through international borders and head to the USA and the AIUM conference for the first time in over 2 years. Quite exciting to be able to catch up with everyone face-to-face, and present, sans Zoom!

Another busy week in the ultrasound world, with echo dominating the space this week.

In light of the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, we would like to highlight the efforts of Dr Kasia Hampton and her GoFundMe campaign designed to deliver medical assistance on the ground. Please consider helping if you can. You can read more about Kasia and her campaign here.

As always, if there’s something on the horizon that you’d like added to our weeklywrap let us know – always here to help.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – last week’s Coaching Corner will be available free online soon. In the meantime check out the entire back catalogue here.
