Seems it has been a slow news week…

with very few stories of note. I should also point out that where once we were able to include images directly from the source of the news that this is rarely possible these days with new security protocols in place acoss the interweb. Makes the feed a little droll and colourless, but no less interesting. Not so slow around the ZeduHQ with a number of courses running and many irons in the fire starting to yield fruit (is that a mixed metaphor?). As always – watch this space for any new developments.

News to highlight from this week:

• A topic dear to our hearts in Sonography “Sonographer Clinical Skills Training: What Can We Learn From International Education and Clinical Training Models to Address the Workforce Shortage?” (23 August)
• Interesting results in AJEM from the USA on “Salary, protected time, and operational trends among emergency ultrasound programs” – what can this tell us about how things could develop in Australia (28 August) – food for thought.

Time to get ready for the weekend – keep your probes clean and the gel warm.
