Learn more about the Ultrasound Guided Vascular Access Course
This workshop is suitable for doctors at any stage in their career, medical students, nurses, phlebotomists or any health professional who inserts a cannula or has trouble finding a vein for vascular access. It is designed to enhance the skills and confidence needed for successful vascular access and provide an overview of infection control procedures.
Objectives
On completion of this one-day clinically focused ultrasound program, physicians will:- Use ultrasound system controls to optimise imaging for accurate diagnosis in clinical practice
- Develop proficiency in probe manipulation to efficiently acquire diagnostic images
- Describe the limitations and clinical integration of ultrasound-guided vascular access
- Use a systematic approach to conduct ultrasound assessment of the vascular anatomy for injection
- Demonstrate the basic principles of ultrasound-guided needle placement using an in-plane and out-of-plane technique for vascular access and procedural applications using simulators
- Outline infection control procedures for vascular access

A great training course is only the beginning of your ultrasound learning journey
To help you master ultrasound and lasting change from training we engage you from the outset
Before your course:
There are pre course activities & access to preparatory learning resources to maximise your in-class experience
During your course:
- Short, sharp information sessions to provide foundational knowledge and clinical context
- Lots of hands-on practical sessions with real people to scan (including for TV and obstetric scans). Our standardised patients models vary in age, size, shape and mobility to make the transition to clinical reality easier.
- Case studies led by practising clinicians to demonstrate clinical utility
- A variety of different machines to learn on
- At the conclusion of your course we’ll lead you to create a skills development action plan, creating a pathway that you can use to apply your newly acquired skills, promote clinical integration and ultimately reach your final objective – ultrasound competency
After your course:
The learning continues
- We encourage self-directed learning in the workplace with structured active learning plans
- A great selection of free access online medical ultrasound (FoamUS) learning resources
- You can subscribe to the weekly wrap – a weekly curation of ultrasound related hot tips and journal articles
