About this event
This intensive hands-on workshop delivers the foundational point-of-care ultrasound (PoCUS) skills you need for everyday general practice. You’ll develop these skills through supervised scanning practice with expert facilitators.
On the general side, you’ll learn to assess the aorta, gallbladder, kidneys and bladder, and to perform DVT compression studies. On the cardiac side, you’ll learn to obtain the core views (parasternal long and short axis, apical four-chamber and subcostal), assess global left ventricular function, identify pericardial effusion, recognise right ventricular dilatation, and evaluate the IVC.
For beginners or those needing a refresher, this workshop will equip you with practical scanning techniques you can incorporate into your broader clinical assessment.
