Outline
The Discipline of Physiotherapy within the School of Clinical Therapies at UCC is happy to announce the launch of a 2 day Introduction course in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound. The purpose of this course is to introduce new and experienced Chartered Physiotherapists and sport medicine doctors to the benefits of utilising diagnostic ultrasound to complement their existing examination and intervention. The course will take place within the discipline of physiotherapy at Nano Nagle Place, Douglas Street Cork.
The course is taught by highly experienced dual trained physiotherapists/MSK sonographers and sports medicine consultants combining over 40 years scanning experience. We teach you the basic skills required to incorporate MSK ultrasound into your clinical practice and the knowledge and resources to further develop your scanning skills. The course is a mixture of lectures, case studies, demonstrations and practical workshops. The practical workshops take place in small groups with close supervision from our expert tutors.
Over the two days, short lectures cover basic physics, artefacts, knobology, image optimisation, quality assurance, medico-legal and clinical governance issues. A significant part of the course is practical workshops with ample time for delegates to scan under close supervision. We cover the knee, shoulder and ankle joints in detail. This includes the ligaments, nerves, surrounding musculature and tendons for each body part. On day 2 (when possible) there is an opportunity for delegates to discuss the scan results and appropriate management.
