About WUSIC
The Wessex UltraSound IV Cannulation course is a half-day course open to Wessex trainees of all specialties, in any stage of training.
It's taught by anaesthetists in the region, with the aim of providing a hands-on opportunity to gain skills and confidence in ultrasound-guided peripheral IV access - you'll never miss a cannula again!​
The course will include:
-
A brief lecture covering the basics of ultrasound, with practical tips and techniques
-
Small group practical sessions to hone your skills, guided by anaesthetic facilitators - there will be plenty of opportunity for all participants to practice on our Bluphantom models using state of the art Fujifilm Sonosite ultrasound machines.
