SONOX - Point-of-Care Ultrasound Education

About SONOX

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

SONOX is a comprehensive point-of-care ultrasound education program dedicated to training healthcare professionals in the effective use of ultrasound at the bedside. Our international faculty bring experience from the UK, Australia, South Africa, Canada and beyond.

Education

Our program combines an evidence-based curriculum with hands-on training to ensure practitioners gain the confidence and skills needed for clinical practice. Pre-course eLearning provides the theory, resulting in the course itself having extensive hands-on time to scan. Our faculty includes consultants with a range of backgrounds, including Emergency Medicine, Critical Care and Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine.

Research

We have close links with the University of Oxford, collaborating on research that advances the field of point-of-care ultrasound in emergency and critical care settings. Our evidence-based approach ensures that our teaching reflects the latest developments in ultrasound technology and application.

Fellowships

SONOX have developed a range of exciting ultrasound fellowships across Critical Care and Emergency Medicine. We are passionate about training the next generation of advanced point-of-care ultrasonographers and ultrasound educators. Contact us below for more details

Course Info

Our course starts with pre-course learning, so that the vast majority of the in-person aspect of the course can be spent scanning and developing ultrasound skills. All of our content is designed with clinical applicability in mind, ensuring real-world utility for clinicians and their patients.
