This course is aimed at developing a systematic and anatomically based approach to the application of ultrasound guidance in the management of spasticity using botulinum toxin. It is intended for clinicians and practitioners with some experience of ultrasound scanning for guidance of injections who are seeking to consolidate and improve technique. The course does not culminate in an exam or any form of educational or competency assessment but has been independently assessed for CPD accreditation.
The course is a home-based programme of practical instruction that is facilitated by provision of an appropriate ultrasound scanner to each delegate. This series of remotely delivered interactive video conference sessions with accompanying practice exercises has been specifically designed to develop applied anatomical knowledge, focusing on the identification of target muscles and safe, accurate and consistent injection under ultrasound guidance.
The course is conducted over 4 weeks.
All delegates are sent an Orca POD Toolbox containing a Sonon 300L portable ultrasound, a gel phantom, ultrasound gel and clinical wipes all of which are provided for the duration of the course. The POD Toolbox incorporates all the elements necessary to enable the progressive acquisition of knowledge and skills through home-based practice. The teaching programme is delivered by a combination of interactive lectures and practice exercises that will equip delegates with the essential cognitive skills necessary to begin incorporating ultrasound imaging guidance into their daily clinical management.
There is an assignment at the end of each session which helps the delegates to revise the concepts learnt during each session and to provide a framework for practising those skills.
