Designed to enhance the skill levels of the Consultant using ultrasound for anaesthetic procedures, this course comprises presentations on the physics of ultrasound, ultrasound anatomy and regional anaesthesia techniques, complemented by hands-on workshops under the guidance of an expert practitioner. It will concentrate on the upper and lower limb blocks, acquainting the user with practical techniques in an off-site environment, the GE Healthcare Clinical Training Centre, allowing greater focus on the content.
Attendance is limited to twelve participants, with three ultrasound systems available to allow intensive training in ultrasound techniques and ultrasound guided needle placement using in-vitro models.
