About this Event

Point of Care Ultrasound for Generalist Doctors

Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) increasingly offers the opportunity for clinicians to improve:

• Diagnostic accuracy
• Efficiency of assessment
• Effectiveness of interventions

This workshop, delivered by POCUS-qualified clinicians at the Launceston General Hospital, will focus on an introduction to practical POCUS skills for general practitioners in Northern Tasmania.

POCUS skills developed include:

• Basic lung ultrasound
• Scanning for DVTs
• Vascular access
• Musculoskeletal
• Early pregnancy

A variety of ultrasound machines will be on hand, with volunteer patient models to support you to develop your POCUS practice.

• Or bring your own US device if you have one and would like to try it out!

This workshop will start promptly at 5.30pm and will finish at 8pm.
