Your Space for Gynaecological Brachytherapy Ultrasound Learning
- Is ‘Image Optimisation’ your biggest hurdle to a clear applicator placement?
- Why manage “blind” when ultrasound can guide your decisions?
Ultrasound is your shortcut to treatment certainty. At Zedu, we bypass the fluff to focus on the high-yield scanning skills that brachytherapists actually need.
Our expert-led courses prioritise hands-on time with real patient models – not simulators – so you can master the ultrasound skills needed to reach imaging competency.

Most ultrasound physics courses teach equations.
This one teaches you what those equations do – to your image, your probe, and your clinical decisions.
If you’ve already studied ultrasound physics but still don’t feel confident adjusting your image or explaining why something is happening, you’re not alone. This course is designed to change that.

FAQs
From one to twelve, and everything in between. As a rule we exceed the minimum requirements, ensuring that there is an industry leading ratio of 1 sonographer educator or physician to every 4 course participants. This is important as it ensures that you get more hands-on time all the time.
The better question to ask is what machines don’t you have! Most of the major players in the ultrasound world support us with their latest systems, making sure you get access to the best and newest technology available. We have so many systems here – from high end carts to handhelds – that in most cases there is a one-to-one ratio.
Zedu courses are designed for your specialty. With quality education always at our front of mind, you’ll be learning with a group of your peers from start to finish. This ensures you are getting a no compromise sequential and structured education experience, all the while having the security and safety of learning with your peers.

Testimonials
It was an engaging learning environment. Different models with time limit for each doctor is nice for learning. Thank you to the faculty for great work.
Eduard N
Concise, informative and like the amount of hands-on opportunities provided.
Sashi K
I find many CPD activities I just do for the CPD points and they don't really actually make any difference to my practice. I think this course has made a huge difference to my confidence. I should have done the course 3 years ago! Know exactly what the screen is showing you BEFORE I put the needle in!
David K
Very much appreciated the comprehensive & anatomical approach that Myra taught. Feel much more confident & capable to do a useful variety of blocks.
Yvonne W
Very engaging course with lots of hands on practice. Even put a Fascia iliaca nerve block with great results in a Pt.
Seema N
Very relevant information in the perfect amount of depth. All in line with the current teaching that I have been getting elsewhere. All topics were extremely relevant to my current job and future aspirations. Amazing facilitators!! Some of the best teachers ive had in a very long time. So approachable yet insanely knowledgeable. I felt like I could ask anything and they would have a solution. I think starting from the absolute basics at the start really gave a fantastic foundation but also allowed me to feel safe in my limited prior knowledge and with asking questions.
Alyssia D
This was better than I ever imagined. Facilitators were the best ever, course structure and content was spot on, location and facilities (especially lunch and snacks) were amazing, machines were high quality and engaging with real patients was invaluable.
Sarah H
Very clinically focused and relevant to my area of practice. The short theory sessions combined with regular short practical sessions was an engaging way to learn and helped build on the skills we were learning bit by bit. The presenters were very knowledgeable and all clearly very experienced at ultrasound. They all had different tips and pieces of advice, which I found very valuable.
Carine M
It was awesome, thanks so much for making the course hands on, exciting and very visual. You have done an amazing job with facilitating and everything that was provided.
Angela S
Covered everything was hoping to learn. Great presenters and facilitators, very relaxed but knowledgeable, very patient and reassuring.
