After a year and a half of COVID-19 restrictions we are pleased to announce that our course – Ultrasound at the Front Door – will be returning in December 2021. This course is accredited for FUSIC (heart, lung, thoracic, vascular), FAMUS and RCR training pathways and for 18 RCP CPD points (6 for each day).
We will run 4 separate courses over a 3 day period:
– 15th December 2021 – FUSIC/FAMUS – Lung, Abdo, Vascular, Physics and Quality Assurance.
– 16th December 2021 – FUSIC Heart – Echo.
– 17th December 2021 Morning – Neuro Ultrasound – Lumbar Puncture, Optic Nerve Sheath Ultrasound, Transcranial Doppler, Temporal Arteritis.
– 17th December 2021 Afternoon – Lung Ultrasound for Cardiologists.
Each course will have an excellent mix of theory and hands-on scanning with small delegate groups and expert faculty.
All delegates for Day 1 or Day 2 (or both) will receive a free copy of our new book Ultrasound for the Generalist- A guide to point of care imaging!

Hi – ICM/acute med trainee here. Very interested to know when you’ll be next running this course (as will be my husband who is also an ICM/Anesthetics trainee). I don’t have twitter so i’ve left email below.
Many thanks

Difficult to know for sure with current restrictions but will keep you updated. It would be great to start to run things later in the year.
