Is this course for me?

If you're a Veterinary Nurse and want to develop your skills and knowledge so that you can actively and confidently participate in all aspects of veterinary ultrasound. Then this is definitely the course for you.

Ultrasonography is an essential skill that can be life-saving, and guess what...FUN TOO!

I'm Camilla and I used to feel like you... A lack of awareness of ultrasound machines, unsure what probe to use, confused by poor images and worried about a limited knowledge of the numerous differential diagnoses.

Then after falling in love with ultrasound and enrolling on numerous ultrasound courses I decided to create online courses for vets and veterinary nurses to deepen and elevate their ultrasound knowledge and scanning confidence.

I want to encourage all veterinary nurses to get comfortable with the basics of ultrasound by providing this easy-to-access on-demand course, that includes relevant training that you can apply immediately at work so that you can actively and confidently participate in all aspects of veterinary ultrasound.

Helping to increase your confidence and self belief when preparing patients and ultrasound machines.

So, if you want to enhance your role as a veterinary nurse by expanding your skills and knowledge in ultrasound, then join Camilla from First Opinion Veterinary Ultrasound (FOVU) on her Ultrasound Essentials for Veterinary Nurses On-Demand Course.

I found this course very interesting and engaging. It discussed certain areas that we are not taught when training as veterinary nurses, so all of the information given was something new to learn. I found the presentation of the course was very well done as the speaker was very knowledgeable but spoke on a level that I could understand starting this area of learning from scratch. Would definitely recommend for any nurses looking to increase their knowledge on ultrasound scanning before they start practically.

How is this course presented?

Our courses are more than just a webinar.

You will be taken through easy to digest bitesize chunks of learning, via a series of informative tutor video presented slides.

Research shows, that online learning knowledge is easier to retain and absorb if video content is used rather than just audio, which is easier to just switch off from and become distracted. This way you can have a human connection to your tutor which is so important.

So that's what we do...
