Overview
This programme has been developed to help answer a drive by Health Education England to increase the number of trained echocardiographers. The programme involves an exciting blend of hands on experience and simulation combined with interactive sessions delivered by subject experts (primarily clinical aided by academics). To facilitate this the University has just invested £300,000 in brand new state-of-the-art equipment.
