Our aim is to educate musculoskeletal practitioners in the safe and competent use of diagnostic ultrasound imaging. You’ll have the chance to be trained in the acquisition of ultrasound images in relation to musculoskeletal conditions. Our team of experts from a variety of backgrounds (radiology, physiotherapy and medicine) will help you understand these images together with the medical history from your point of view. This will facilitate the accurate diagnosis of patient conditions and appropriate management.
