We’ve had a lot of fun this week.

Back in the trenches upskilling registrars in hospital, teaching 1st trimester and advanced ED applications here at the learning HQ, working on the next ideas to improve ultrasound teaching and learning. It never ends.

Plus – a bit of triviality with our second installation of #whatsthisfood – no one guessed it this time around. Check out our post from the 1oth below and keep an eye out on Tuesday for the next edition on our socials. If you can’t scan and have fun there’s no point in scanning at all! Lockdown has had some strange effects…

And our animal story of the week involves a Gorilla, scanning and a toothache.

See you next week

Suean and Mike

P.S. – had a fun #coachingcorner last week – the recording is now up and free check it out PLUS the back catalogue of videos anytime on our website.
