Introduction to ultrasound for the non-radiologist

This focused ultrasound (USS) training gives clinicians the skills to diagnose and treat common hand and wrist conditions with confidence. Learn essential sono-anatomy, ultrasound-guided injection techniques, and point-of-care scanning from an experienced hand surgeon.

With a strong emphasis on hands-on practice, you’ll work with live models, simulators, and realistic phantoms to refine scanning and procedural skills, including carpal tunnel and trigger finger interventions. The course also covers practical tips for setting up and running an ultrasound-guided injection clinic efficiently.
