Join us for our Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) course led by Dr Ashley Matthies, an EM Consultant and Ultrasound expert at Homerton! 

This will be a full-day practical teaching workshop where you will have the opportunity to get plenty of hand-on experience with using the ultrasound machines as well as receive teaching on the interpretation of ultrasound images.
