Course Application

The 2010 course is now full, any further applications will be added to the waiting list for 2011's course.

The Morriston Head and Neck Ultrasound Ultrasound Workshop has been running successfully since 1996. The original concept was that of a practical hands on teaching workshop, the original faculty are the authors of the textbook: Practical Head and Neck Ultrasound (Cambridge University Press).

Delegates on the course will receive a complimentary copy of the text, which will be mailed to delegates prior to attendance to allow some preliminary background reading.

The course is held in the Postgraduate Centre in Morriston Hospital, Swansea, a typical NHS facility (i.e. in need of updating!) however the centre allows us to have dedicated “breakout” workshops and scanning sessions in a comfortable controlled environment. The workshop on the first day of the course will allow delegates to scan models and patients with established pathology. The second day’s workshop is primarily designed to teach biopsy techniques with the opportunity to gain experience in some of the more complex anatomy of the neck.

The number of delegates is limited to allow us to plan the workshops so that the numbers are kept to a level that allows delegates adequate scanning time. The workshop groups will be allocated according to experience and profession e.g. Surgeons will be grouped together. If numbers warrant – practitioners who are inexperienced in Ultrasound will have a specific workshop in how to drive a Ultrasound machine optimally.
