Zedu Weekly Wrap - 16 July 2021

So here we go again…

It’s not without a degree of frustration that we’ve had to shut up shop – again. But even though this is a major inconvenience for everyone, we know from experience that immediate short, sharp action such as that we’re experiencing will ensure we aren’t faced with anything more than an inconvenience.

As we wield ultrasound probes rather than epidemiological tools we can’t foreshadow how things will evolve over the next 5 days, and can only hope that things get under control over the weekend so that we can reemerge – again.

If you require any support or information please get in touch.

In the meantime you can distract yourself from the world of virus with the world of POCUS – a lot of articles in the #FOAMed space this week, including several in pediatrics.

See you next week?

Mike and Suean

P.S. – are you looking for a simpler, more affordable POCUS certification pathway? We’re proud to announce our partnership with the POCUS Certification Academy, allowing us to offer the first of a growing range of internationally recognised certification packages. If you want your POCUS training efforts recognised, or your workplace requires evidence of your abilities then we can help with our one stop point-of-care ultrasound training and certification package. Get in touch and we’ll make your POCUS journey simple…

This month’s #coachingcorner – all about the pancreas – is available free now on our website. Some great case discussion, tips and tricks from Zedu crew from around the world. Check it out – and don’t forget there’s a new episode on the first Thursday of the month – register here for FREE!

When @POCUSfaces asked me to be their first #POCUS face I was flattered & stumped – what would I say? So I told my personal story.

Am so looking forward to hearing the life stories of others too. #Ultrasound changes lives on both sides of the probe.
