About this Event
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 20 places are available for the event due to limited availability of workstations. One workstation will be shared between 2 delegates.
The registration fee for the 4-day course is £200.
The registration will be on first-come first-served basis, and no payment is required at the time of registration. An email with payment details will be sent to the first 20 delegates, and once the payment has been received the registration will be confirmed.
The course has been endorsed by the BSE and 12 BSE points will be awarded.
