Abdominal and Thoracic Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS) For Veterinary Nurses
Are you ready to become ultrasound-empowered? Our highly successful two day competency-based face to face workshop is specifically designed for experienced RVNs looking to diversify their skills further to support their veterinary clinicians in an emergency critical care situation.
We have countless positive endorsements for this highly practical, informal and informative 2-day event. We can promise that you will exit feeling confident and competent to undertake PoCUS scans in a critical or time-pressured clinical situation.
We strongly believe that NOW is the time for veterinary nurses to add these highly versatile skills to their clinical toolkit and actively support this nurse role diversification.

Aspire UCS Are Collaborating!
2024 is the time to become ultrasound-empowered! Make it your New Year's Eve resolution to improve your small animal abdominal ultrasound skills.
2-Day Abdominal Ultrasound Workshop
We are excited to announce that Celtic SMR and Aspire UCS are once again collaborating in 2024
We're offering an introduction to our 8-Step Abdominal Ultrasound Survey, a unique approach to teaching vets and vet nurses how to use ultrasound system controls properly to maximise diagnostic potential and how to develop a comprehensive and systematic abdominal ultrasound survey.
You'll be questioning the rationale for routine target scanning after attending this course!

Come and meet us!
We'll be at BSAVA Congress in Manchester on the 21st - 23rd March 2024 -We'll be lecturing on the Friday morning on Ultrasound 'Knobology' - explaining the FIVE most important controls needed to help optimise your diagnostic ultrasound image.
Then, back by popular demand, we'll be running 'Aspire UCS Agony Aunt' ultrasound workshops on ALL THREE event dates in The Practical Village.
We will have 3 workstations for you to visit, manned by one of our knowledgeable Aspire UCS team members, not simply experienced in clinical ultrasound, but also great at teaching ultrasound skills.
The workstations will be as follows:
-
One dedicated to addressing any worries or woes you may have for driving an ultrasound system properly. We know how critical it can be to diagnostic outcomes to understand the what, why and when for using the specific controls. If you have a question, come and ask us as no question is ever too daft! We're all about giving you 'sound system' advice based on our decades of clinical experience.
-
Try your hand at abdominal ultrasound as we'll be introducing our brand new Aspire UCS Lillie Dog Phantom! This is the first showcase for our little dog phantom, so why not come and have a play on it whilst we talk you through some of our tried and tested techniques. Don't worry if you've never picked up an ultrasound probe before - this training tool is specifically designed for ultrasound newcomers to introduce the motor skills and hand-eye-brain coordination needed for scanning. It'll be fun to try and find the organs.
-
And finally, a fun but super-useful workstation for mastering your ultrasound-guided FNA skills on a series of tissue-mimicking phantoms. Perfect for RVNs and Vets to have a go - don't be shy, see if you can follow your needle on the screen and aspirate urine safely on our bladder phantom or draw blood from our venous block!
