Course Objectives
What’s Included?
This course is intended to meet the training needs of clinicians working in the primary care environment who wish to use ultrasound scanning within their daily practice. The program will develop probe-handling and interpretation skills and focus on the use of ultrasound scanning to answer a series of 14 commonly encountered clinical questions. Delegates will learn scan protocols and incorporate them into their routine patient assessment to assist in clarifying answers to these questions. Completion of the course enables students to enrol on a period of supervised regular scanning, at the conclusion of which competency will be assessed through a review of the scan portfolio and an observed structured clinical examination (OSCE). The 14 clinical questions addressed in this course are below:
General practitioner and specialist interested in Point of Care Ultrasound in GP and Minor Surgery/ Joint Injections
BSc (Hons), MBChB, DRCOG, MRCGP, PgCert (Medical Ultrasound) Doctor within the NHS.
Lee is an NHS GP using his skills in Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) to facilitate his practice and augment the patient journey. This expedites patient care and significantly increases patient satisfaction. His areas of scan interest include the abdomen, testes, soft tissue lesions, MSK, vascular and using POCUS to plan minor surgical procedures including joint injections. Lees’ passion in this area has allowed him to travel, teach and highlight the benefit of POCUS to other GPs around Europe.
