Ultrasound Guided Vascular Access Course

This course is aimed at doctors and other healthcare practitioners who wish to expand their knowledge and skills related to vascular access. Courses run three times a year on a Wednesday afternoon from 1300 to 1700.

Recently we have invested in some new ultrasound phantoms to aid teaching of peripheral and central vascular access.

Areas covered on the course include:

• e-learning resources on the basic principles of ultrasound and indications, complications and management of vascular access.

• Practical demonstrations and practice in small groups of peripheral and central vascular access.

• Troubleshooting, personal practice and videos.

Places on the course are limited to 20 and the course fee is £40 for nurses, radiographers and AHPs, £60 for trainee doctors and £80 for consultants.
