This hands-on consultant led MSK ultrasound course will feature practical scanning using a variety of ultrasound machines with delegates placed in small groups to maximise experience and practice.
Delegates will have the opportunity to rotate around stations and try new and different machines in small groups and arranged to work with colleagues of a similar experience with ultrasound (predetermined by a pre-course questionnaire) to enhance the learning.
The course is heavily practical orientated but interspersed with small lecture-based talks reviewing some theory around imaging.
The course will cover joints and soft tissues both in the upper limb and lower limb and help to assess pathologies that are commonly seen in daily MSK practice involving the large and small joints of the musculoskeletal system. Specialities reviewed include pathologies encountered within Trauma & Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Sports & Exercise Medicine. There will be opportunities for Q&As after each presentation and discussions will be encouraged between delegates and faculty.
