Zedu Weekly Wrap - 7 August 2026

The team is back at full speed…

with a summer break well and truly behind us and a busy second half of the year looming.

We’ve also been busy behind the scenes reviewing teaching material, creating new courses (take a look at the website and see if you can spoit it) and generally advancing the cause of ultrasound. The work is never ending – but what else would we do! 😉

With that, here is the first news since our return – publications of note:

Infective Endocarditis Diagnosed by Emergency Physicians Using Cardiac POCUS: A Case Series featuring a large number of Zedu educators in AJUM – see if you can spot them (1 August)
Uterine Position and Diagnostic Accuracy of Transvaginal 2D, 3D, Transrectal and Transabdominal Ultrasonography in the Assessment of Endometrial and Uterine Cavity Abnormalities—A Narrative Review in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (1 August)

Plus a whole range of other goodies are here – making for interesting weekend reading.

Checking out now – keep your probes clean and the gel warm.

P.S. You can see every date for every course live on the calendar now. And don’t forget – if there isn’t a date or course that fits your specific learning objectives – get in touch.

Popliteal Artery Aneurysm Thrombosis Diagnosed with Point-of-Care Ultrasound

Make 2027 your year of ultrasound and check out our range of
scheduled and one-on-one options that will get you scanning like a pro.
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.
