---

The underlying approach to our teaching and learning is the reinforcement of theory with practical application.
Lectures and tutorials are delivered in modern, well equipped  classrooms supported by extensive application in simulation laboratories.
Support for self directed learning is offered through a cloud based learning management system with extensive resources available at all times.
​A recent addition is an online tutorial system with video tutorials and access to over five hundred case studies.

​Simulation laboratories

Simulation laboratories have been designed to replicate the clinical setting with a range of ultrasound systems and scanning beds. Students skills are developed initially with the use of anatomical phantoms followed by scanning models of diverse habitus under the guidance of experienced tutors. 

Advanced haptic simulation

Students now have access to an advanced form of simulation:
​• Real-feel haptics. A virtual patient whose shape, position and feel changes with every patient case.
• ScanTutor. A virtual tutor provides real-time on screen guidance helping trainees to identify structures and make measurements.
• Educational modules. Training programs designed across a number of clinical disciplines will teach basic through to advanced skills that can then be applied in context with real-life patient scenario cases.
• Feedback. After each lesson, the trainee can access comprehensive feedback to understand what they did wrong as well as what they did right.
• Case library. Contains real patient normal and abnormal ultrasound cases. 
• Scanning and diagnostic skills assessment. Ensures defined competencies are achieved prior to clinical practice.
