“The two day introduction to MSK ultrasound is a very well planned and delivered course. Perfect blend of theory and small group practical sessions. The resources and quality of teaching are excellent. Stuart, Rob and Dave have huge amounts of experience, both as teachers and practitioners, and their enthusiasm and passion for the subject is evident. We also had the added bonus of being able to tap into Fredy’s amazing knowledge of anatomy.

The course supplies a really good grounding of knowledge in a way that can be understood what ever background profession you have. Each joint is covered firstly with anatomy and ultrasound appearance of both normal and abnormal. This is followed by a practical demonstration of scanning technique. Then the opportunity to reinforce the learning by scanning in small groups. This is all presented in a way that encourages questioning and interaction. I particularly appreciated all the practical hints and tips offered throughout the two days. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in extending their practice to include MSK ultrasound.”

“The Introductory MSK Ultrasound course was the perfect introduction to a topic that can appear daunting at first.  The days are well structured with an appropriate mix of technique, anatomy, governance guidance and the physics behind the modality. Three screens are set up allowing the lecture slides, camera for probe positioning and a mirror of the ultrasound image to be viewed simultaneously.

Each section was introduced with a review of anatomy by Freddy, a Physio and anatomist, which was incredibly engaging and immediately applicable to Stuart and Rob’s demonstration of the ultrasound technique for that area. Stuart and Rob’s clinical pearls from their experience paired with their approachability made them excellent course leaders. Instructor to delegate ratio was ideal, I found that most of my scans were supervised by one of the instructors allowing invaluable personalised feedback. At no point did the course feel rushed; the pace, depth of content and practice time was perfect for an introductory level.

The introduction to MSK Ultrasound course is an excellent, accessible introduction to diagnostic ultrasound. I left feeling more confident and less intimated with an appetite for further education in this field. I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking an introduction to diagnostic ultrasound.”
