SonoUK 2024
A FESTIVAL OF POINT OF CARE ULTRASOUND COURSES
Tuesday 4th & Wednesday 5th June 2024
Information: Now in it's 5th year SonoUK is back!
SonoUK is a vibrant festival of Point-of-Care Ultrasound (PoCUS), delivered by the who's who of ultrasound experts. We will be bringing together an mazing selection of contemporary coursesunder one roof, using the lastes ultrasound equipment and simulation. Whethere you're a novice or established clinician, doctor or allied health professional, there's somehting for everyone.

ascular Access and Haemodialysis Study Day
Date: 27th September 2024
Location: Weston Education Centre, King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill.
Background:
Following our successful Upper Limb/Thoracic Outlet and GCA study days, we are pleased to announce that our next study day will be dedicated to Vascular Access and Haemodialysis. The study day will take a multidisciplinary approach to vascular access, including presentations from esteemed guest speakers from vascular surgery, nephrology, and interventional radiology. The day includes vascular ultrasound demonstrations as well as a hands-on session where attendees may scan example patients firsthand. The event will be catered and include refreshments/lunch. The study day will take place at King’s College Hospital Weston Education Centre, Denmark – conveniently accessible by direct trains from London Victoria, London Blackfriars, and Clapham Junction. More details regarding the day will be released in due course.
Proposed Topics (provisional):
- Vascular Surgery and Innovations: Arteriovenous fistula/graft creation from a surgeon’s perspective, latest advancements in vascular surgery techniques for AVF/AVG creation and salvage procedures.
- Ultrasound in Vascular Assessment: Vascular access surveillance and mapping from a clinical scientist’s perspective. Exploring the role of ultrasound in assessing vascular access, identifying complications, and optimizing patient outcomes.
- Interventional Radiology: The role of interventional radiology in procedures related to vascular access and dialysis.
- Nursing Perspectives: Highlighting the critical role of dialysis nurse specialists in patient education, care coordination, and access management.
- Renal Medicine: Background on patient pathway, the importance of intervention, and patient outcomes.
