Basic Training Online

Welcome to the online Basic Training module, were you can view all the lectures from the full theoretical curriculum and complete assessments (in development).

A full theoretical training curriculum is being developed and it covers all the essential topics in obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound in 32 lectures, delivering the theoretical knowledge required to obtain and interpret obstetric and gynaecological ultrasound images without supervision. This is an ongoing project with new lectures being added when recorded, and the full curriculum to be finalised by early 2018.
