About this course
This two day course is designed to provide participants with the knowledge and skills required to perform a basic echocardiographic examination. It will enable participants to identify the normal anatomy and normal variations as well as changes seen with common diseases.
Day one is a prerequisite for day two therefore both days must be registered for. The course consists of lectures, practical scanning sessions and interactive sessions to assist consolidation of theoretical knowledge.
Please note this is a popular course with limited spaces so book early to avoid disappointment.
