A TALK ON ULTRASOUND - THE SECOND STETHOSCOPE

We believe that the first-line diagnosis with basic ultrasound screening potentially keep half of the patients out of hospital. Our aim is to equip Family Physicians with necessary ultrasound skills and the training opportunities for the effective and confident diagnosis.
