Why is this important?


Our courses are professional level courses, delivered by our multi prize winning Ultrasound Faculty, with course alumni going on to operate on every continent, in every environment.



Research: First Prize at the Nov 25 FPHC Conference.



First Proze winner at the RGPAS Conference Nov 25.


Delegates range from Civilian and military, expedition medics, ships medics, off shore medics, cruise line medics, remote and rural GP’s, ngo medics, humanitarian, oil and gas, media safety medics working in remote areas, military medics, disaster response medics and a steady flow from NHS Doctors working in remote and rural clinics.


We don’t believe in marking our own home work - any establishment can write its own course and self accredit. Peer review, and challenge by those with highly relevant expertise and experience has a distinct value.


We did just that.


Endorsement by a Royal College following an expert review process has a value. Endorsement by the Faculty of Pre Hospital Care no less.


This course joins our Prolonged Field Care Course as courses that we deliver that are endorsed by the FPHC, RCS (Edin).


Long established, for years, the FPHC has set the standards in our sectors. It’s their documents that are waved round as evidence of good practice.


This was a robust process.


Importantly, the assessment was undertaken by assessors with highly relevant contextual expertise in Ultrasound.
