June 2020 Update
Dear All,
We hope you are all managing to keep well throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. We had hoped to circulate this letter with details for the Wessex Basic Ultrasound Course, but we remain unable to plan this currently. Instead, we are looking at replacing this with an online course (details to follow). Additionally, please find a summary of the main changes to the ultrasound component of the new curriculum. We realise ultrasound training may not be being prioritised in units at the moment, so thought we would share some useful FREE online resources that may help with logbook competencies. We are also looking into organising some regional ultrasound teaching over Teams. If this is something you are interested in, please could you email Helen directly (hjp105@doctors.org.uk) with your name, level of training and which module you are interested in: basic, intermediate fetal anatomy, intermediate early pregnancy, intermediate gynae. Those doing ATSMs are likely to still be getting training, but if there are any concerns, please let us know.
Best wishes,
Tatjana Nikisina, Deanery Ultrasound Co-ordinator, Tatjana.Nikisina@porthosp.nhs.uk
Helen Perry, Trainee Ultrasound Rep, hjp105@doctors.org.uk
