About this event
- Event lasts 3 days 10 hours
The "Advanced Echocardiography Course & Workshop" is a 4-day event, which will allow the trainees to learn and practice all contemporary techniques and applications of 3D echocardiography and strain imaging. It is designed for sonographers, SpR's, echocardiography fellows, and consultants with experience and competency in 2D echocardiography.
Only 24 places are available due to limited availability of workstations. One workstation will be shared between 2 delegates.
The registration fee for the 4-day course is £300.
The course is being considered for BSE endorsement for 12 BSE points to be awarded.
