It is our strong belief – regardless of curriculum requirements – that every anaesthetist must understand ultrasound. Whether you’re placing a peripheral or central line, performing a pre-surgical cardiac assessment, initiating a nerve block or assessing an airway, ultrasound is invaluable. Regardless of its utility in your context, knowing what ultrasound can do, and how it can be applied is like a good shot of espresso coffee – once you get a taste you’ll want more. And more…
And once you get started it’s a no brainer that ultrasound skills will help you be a better health practitioner. In fact, ultrasound is recognised around the world as one of the most important skills you can develop to improve outcomes, save time and money (for you and your patient).
Unfortunately, most anaesthetists have been exposed to very little training. And where they have it has been in a very unorganised and scattered approach. More often than not training has been provided by energetic enthusiasts in the workplace who can demonstrate the potential for ultrasound, but – while passionate – haven’t invested in their ability to teach the art and science behind it. Plus the compromises that we all know come from training at work means a less than ideal learning environment. This results in little take away skills, no pathway to develop skills and ultimately disappointment.
But you can do something about this. In order for you to avoid the stressful ups and downs of learning ultrasound, having a strong foundation on which to build your skills and a clear plan in place to support your development is fundamental. That’s where we can help.

Concise, informative and like the amount of hands-on opportunities provided.

I find many CPD activities I just do for the CPD points and they don't really actually make any difference to my practice. I think this course has made a huge difference to my confidence. I should have done the course 3 years ago! Know exactly what the screen is showing you BEFORE I put the needle in!

Very much appreciated the comprehensive & anatomical approach that Myra taught. Feel much more confident & capable to do a useful variety of blocks.

Very relevant information in the perfect amount of depth. All in line with the current teaching that I have been getting elsewhere. All topics were extremely relevant to my current job and future aspirations. Amazing facilitators!! Some of the best teachers ive had in a very long time. So approachable yet insanely knowledgeable. I felt like I could ask anything and they would have a solution. I think starting from the absolute basics at the start really gave a fantastic foundation but also allowed me to feel safe in my limited prior knowledge and with asking questions.
