Siemens Healthineers offers focused hands-on skills training for CORE clinical applications (in support of the CORE (Level 1) ultrasound curriculum of the College of Emergency Medicine)
- Focused Assessment with Sonography in Trauma (FAST)
- Assessment of the Abdominal Aorta for Aneurysm (AAA)
- Focused Echocardiography in Life Support (ELS)
- Ultrasound Guided Vascular Access (VA)
Each session will be supported by Dr Richard Parris, MBChB, MRCP, FCEM, Consultant in Emergency Medicine, Bolton Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and a clinical ultrasound specialist. Delegates will have an opportunity to refresh their clinical context and application of the CORE examination and then have hands-on practice using the Siemens Healthineers ACUSON Juniper and ACUSON NX3 Elite Ultrasound systems.

Learning outcomes:
- Understand the clinical context and applicability of the core assessment ultrasound examination
- Understand and adhere to the rule in philosophy
- Understand the basic technique and obtain adequate images of key anatomy relating to the core application
- Understand the basic principles of safe ultrasound practice and know the limitations of their own skills
