The course is heavily practical orientated but interspersed with small lecture-based talks reviewing some theory around imaging.
The course will cover joints and soft tissues both in the upper limb and lower limb and help to assess pathologies that are commonly seen in daily MSK practice involving the large and small joints of the musculoskeletal system. Specialities reviewed include pathologies encountered within Trauma & Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Sports & Exercise Medicine. There will be opportunities for Q&As after each presentation and discussions will be encouraged between delegates and faculty.
This course would be of interest to anyone currently practicing in MSK ultrasound and wishes to update skills and/or wishes to consider starting practice with MSK ultrasound.
This course will primarily target radiology consultants/residents / fellows/sonographers / practitioners/physiotherapists in the fields of general & MSK radiology, orthopaedics, sports & exercise medicine, rheumatology, general practice with MSK specialist interests and physiotherapy.
The latest in ultrasound technology will be utilised and demonstrated during the course by:

Wrightington Hospital Conference Centre: Wrightington Hall was the home of the Wrightington family for several centuries before being bought by Lancashire County Council in 1918 with the purpose of turning it into a TB hospital. The hall has since been transformed into an educational facility, celebrating the pioneering work on joint replacement carried out at Wrightington Hospital by Sir John Charnley. Located within a short travelling distance of Preston, Manchester and Liverpool and conveniently only two minutes away from Junction 27 of the M6.
