This course is aimed at practitioners considering buying an ultrasound machine as it offers these unique benefits:

• All delegates will be provided with a BCF ultrasound machine for the duration of this four-module course.  This will allow delegates to practice scanning techniques in their own practice.  
• Delegates who choose to purchase the machine at the end of the course will receive a discount off the machine price equal to the cost of the course.
