Our Vision

We envisage creating a simulated ultrasound examination environment, ideally with several practical stations equipped with ultrasound machines, examination couches and appropriate demonstration or simulation equipment.

This would allow delegates to rotate through smaller groups and gain practical exposure to:

• Basic ultrasound principles, terminology and equipment orientation.
• Ultrasound machine controls, probe handling and image optimisation.
• Introduction to pelvic anatomy and ultrasound imaging.
• Understanding basic follicular monitoring and endometrial assessment in fertility treatment.
• Patient preparation, positioning, communication and comfort during ultrasound examinations.
• The role, responsibilities and professional scope of the fertility nurse in supporting ultrasound procedures.

Where feasible, we would welcome the opportunity to incorporate ultrasound simulators, pelvic phantoms or other appropriate training models to create a realistic, safe and engaging learning experience.
