Learn more about the Fetal Well-Being Ultrasound Course

Fetal Well-being Ultrasound - Master the fundamentals of fetal Doppler and fetal well-being assessment in the management of high-risk pregnancies.

Objectives

On completion of this one-day clinically focused ultrasound program, learners will be able to:

Use ultrasound system controls to optimise imaging for accurate diagnosis
Develop proficiency in probe manipulation to efficiently acquire diagnostic images
Describe the limitations and clinical integration of ultrasound in the assessment of foetal well-being.
Use a systematic approach to conduct ultrasound assessment of
- Foetal presentation
- Amniotic fluid volume
- Umbilical artery Doppler
- Middle cerebral artery Doppler
- Foetal tone, breathing and movements

A great training course is only the beginning of your ultrasound learning journey

To help you master ultrasound and lasting change from training we engage you from the outset

Before your course:
There are pre course activities & access to preparatory learning resources to maximise your in-class experience

During your course:

Short, sharp information sessions to provide foundational knowledge and clinical context
Lots of hands-on practical sessions with real people to scan (including for TV and obstetric scans). Our standardised patients models vary in age, size, shape and mobility to make the transition to clinical reality easier.
Case studies led by practising clinicians to demonstrate clinical utility
A variety of different machines to learn on
At the conclusion of your course we’ll lead you to create a skills development action plan, creating a pathway that you can use to apply your newly acquired skills, promote clinical integration and ultimately reach your final objective – ultrasound competency

After your course:
The learning continues

We encourage self-directed learning in the workplace with structured active learning plans
A great selection of free access online medical ultrasound (FoamUS) learning resources
You can subscribe to the weekly wrap – a weekly curation of ultrasound related hot tips and journal articles
