We’re back! After a long Covid-19 break – bringing with it homeschooling, a new website and a range of other business halting issues – we’re back on track!

Thanks everyone who has reached out over the past 6 months – we really appreciate it. We’re hoping for guidance from the policy makers over the weekend as Victoria struggles to control it’s current outbreak, which will determine when and how we restart face-to-face courses.

In the meantime we’ll continue to support ultrasound users wherever and however we can.

This week’s issue is a big catch up of the free online access ultrasound material that kept coming – despite a pandemic.

And don’t forget to check out and register for our ongoing #coachingcorner – your opportunity to learn with our community of clever live and free every month. Oh – and our constantly updated covid POCUS resources…

See you all soon

Suean and Mike
