Workshops
The workshops are designed for Anaesthetists, Intensive Care, Emergency Department Physicians and Surgeons who wish to learn how to use Point of Care (POC) transthoracic and ultrasound guidance techniques.
There are two workshops available:
- H.A.R.Tscan® Haemodynamic Echocardiography Assessment in Real Time.
- Ultrasound Guided Nerve Block and Vascular Access
H.A.R.Tscan® Haemodynamic Echocardiography Assessment in Real Time.
The H.A.R.Tscan® workshop teaches specialists a limited transthoracic echocardiography study which is qualitative, rather than quantitative, in order to better understand basic haemodynamic state basic valve interrogation.
Maximum intake is 30 participants per workshop.
The core learning areas are:
- Basic transthoracic imaging
- Haemodynamic state assessment including the measurement of cardiac output
- Basic assessment of valves using 2D and colour flow Doppler imaging.
- H.A.R.Tscan® examination
- H.A.R.Tscan® reporting and examination

Ultrasound Guided Nerve Block and Vascular Access
The Ultrasound Guided Nerve Blocks and Vascular Access workshop is designed to cover ultrasound guided interventions.
Maximum intake is 25 participants per workshop.
Core learning areas are:
- Abdominal and thoracic blocks
- Lower limb blocks
- Upper limb blocks
- Vascular mapping
- Other nerve blocks (including peripheral and deep cervical plexus blocks as well as continuous nerve block catheters)

Each workshop contains ten hours of hands-on learning with approximately two hours dedicated to each core learning area. Scanning techniques will be demonstrated and participants will practise using ultrasound machines. Participants will be divided into small groups and will rotate through each core learning station.
