Level 1
Guidance for establishing and/or enriching POCUS Management in your department.
The course includes 5 x 90-120min sessions delivered by a panel of experts aimed at those in or aspiring to take on senior and/or ultrasound leadership roles.
We have provided the recordings of both the 2020 and the 2022 versions of this course as they differed slightly hence you will see 10 x sessions. Some of the 2022 material has been duplicated from 2020 but there are too many pearls of wisdom in each series to choose between them, thus we are made both available to you. It is your choice to decide whether to watch both or just one series.
