Plenty of news, views and opinions to catch up on this week. Life is never dull in the world of ultrasound.

And the first full week back on the probes post lockdown has us questioning our match fitness – this teaching gig is energetic.

Grab a coffee and catch up on the week – we’ve done the work for you!

See you soon

Suean and Mike

P.S. – This month’s #coachingcorner was a load of fun with the team from ProbeLogic – join our community of clever and catch up with recordings of the previous sessions – available for you free any time.
