This three-day specialist course combines ultrasound-guided anatomy with cadaveric dissection to support clinicians performing botulinum toxin injections.

The course covers:

• Cervical spine
• Upper limb
• Lower limb

Clinical applications in the management of dystonia and spasticity will be covered throughout the course.

Additional specialist faculty are invited daily.

CPD accreditation has been applied for through CPD Certification Service for 6 hours per day, and a certificate of attendance will be awarded.

Merz Pharma UK Ltd have provided funds toward the running of this meeting but have not had any influence on the agenda.

Some of our most recent reviews:

“The format of the course was excellent, and it was clear that all the faculty members were extremely knowledgeable, which gave me confidence in their teaching.”

“This was a phenomenal course that offered excellent introductory lectures, followed by excellent insights on the anatomy by Freddie alongside the cadavers, and then very useful ultrasound practice. Overall, this course was a boost to my clinical practice. I found it extremely helpful and instructive, and a very helpful refresher. I think having so many experienced practitioners meant that the discussions served as a useful forum to discuss the different ways clinicians manage common problems. I am amazed that this course is currently free.”

“It was great that with the ultrasound sessions, there was at least one person per ultrasound station who was familiar with the ultrasound of that body region, and who could help learners navigate the images and what they were seeing. In other courses that I have attended, this was not the case, and delegates were left to try to decipher the images alone, not knowing if their interpretation was correct or not.”

“I was so appreciative of the opportunity to attend this course. The quality of the teaching was incredibly high. Throughout the days, discussion and debate were encouraged, and as attendees, we agreed that there was no judgment when we did not know the answer. I really appreciated how humble the ‘experts’ were and how willing they ALL were to share their knowledge.”

“Thank you. Such a great course. Especially the explanation about caput and Collis. I like that they had a few case studies presented for clinical reasoning.”

This course is accredited through the Royal College of Physicians (RCP); Part 1 and Part 2 required

Course Objectives

• For learners to understand the physics of ultrasound.
• For learners to understand the core functions of ultrasound probe handling.
• For learners to be able to optimise the image on an ultrasound system.For learners to be able to apply ultrasound imaging in a rigorous standardised manner within daily practice to rapidly answer the 14 clinically relevant questions (see course description.

What’s Included?

• 4 Sessions of remote guided practice and one day face to face-to-face practical to refine the technique.
• Each delegate has their own POD box for the duration of the course. This contains an ultrasound transducer, tablet, and gel phantom. Ultrasound gel and wipes are also included.
• 4 x weekly 2-hour live teaching sessions with lectures, demonstrations and interactive guided scanning practice.
• Weekly homework assignments with feedback to progressively develop technique.
• One full-day face-to-face session with a good ratio of students to faculty for practising the scan techniques in preparation for supervised application in clinical practice.

Before investing in equipment or beginning to scan patients, it is important to understand the qualification requirements and the role that introductory training can play.
The Royal College of Podiatry states that podiatrists using diagnostic or point-of-care ultrasound should hold a Level 7 CASE-accredited ultrasound qualification, with a Postgraduate Certificate as the minimum standard of award. It also makes clear that short courses do not replace this formal postgraduate qualification.
So, where does an introductory course fit?

At the beginning of the journey.

Orca Medical’s Introduction to Ultrasound in Podiatry course is designed to help clinicians explore the fundamentals of ultrasound and POCUS, understand ultrasound equipment and image optimisation, and gain practical scanning experience before progressing to formal postgraduate study.
The course also provides ongoing mentoring, helping participants consolidate their learning, ask questions and begin developing the practical foundations needed for the next stage of their ultrasound education.

Learn the foundations. Understand the equipment. Start building your confidence.

Interested in musculoskeletal ultrasound, but unsure where to start?

Developing a clear understanding of how ultrasound images are formed, how different tissues appear and how to approach a structured scan is an important first step for practitioners considering the use of musculoskeletal ultrasound in clinical practice.

Join Mr Stewart Kerr, Course Lead, for a free live taster webinar introducing the Foundation Skills for MSK Ultrasound course.
During this one-hour session, Stewart will explore core ultrasound principles, basic tissue appearances, and relevant anatomical structures before demonstrating fundamental MSK scanning techniques. You will also gain an overview of the course’s online format and practical learning resources, with an opportunity to ask questions during a live Q&A.
Whether you are considering progressing towards the full PG Cert MSK or simply exploring how ultrasound could support your clinical practice, this webinar offers a practical introduction to the course and its approach to learning.

No previous MSK ultrasound experience is required.
