New machines, new courses – it’s always fresh at Zedu…

Podiatric Ultrasound: Next Level 🦶
We’ve been busy behind the scenes this week and are excited to launch Podiatric Ultrasound: Next Level, a one-day advanced course designed for podiatrists ready to extend their foundational ultrasound skills. Developed with Dr James Ferrie, who is internationally in demand, this course focuses on advanced pathology recognition, dynamic assessment and interventional precision with clear clinical integration.

Places are limited to preserve hands-on scanning time. The first course runs 24 April and is open to clinicians who have completed our Ultrasound for Podiatrists course. Get in early.

On the news front, we recommend you check out:

• Current Practices and Gaps in Integrating Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Neonatal and Pediatric Transport: A Scoping Review (3 February)
• Elephant TTE in the aptly titled “Feasibility of Baseline cardIac investiGation in awake elepHants (Elephas mAximus) using tRansThoracic echocardiography: The BIG HEART study” (2 February)

And also be sure to join in the discussion in the Ultrasound Educator Support Network on how we can avoid making POCUS training a one-off trap. Food for thought.

Keep your probes clean and the gel warm.

Make 2026 your year of ultrasound and check out our range of
scheduled and one-on-one options that will get you scanning like a pro.

Plus – as the cultural capital of Australia – why not tie in a bit of training with a touch of AO tennis, speed through at the Melbourne GP or have a laugh at the International Comedy Festival.

If you know the value of protected learning time, secure your place early.

P.S. – don’t forget – if something doesn’t quite fit your learning objectives or availability we can design and deliver a program that meets your needs. Don’t tell everyone though – availability is limited.
