National Training Scheme for the use of Thyroid Ultrasound by Endocrinologists: 31 Oct 2006
National Training Scheme for the use of Thyroid Ultrasound by Endocrinologists
Tuesday 31 October 2006 - 10.00 am – 5.00 pm
The Postgraduate Centre, Mayday University Hospital, Croydon
This is the advanced notice of the first training workshop for thyroid ultrasound by endocrinologists. This new one day course will be held on the day before the British Thyroid Association Meeting at the Royal Free Hospital London. The total journey time from central London to Croydon is 30 to 40 minutes with trains running at least every 10 minutes.
This new one day course is an essential part of the new national training scheme for certification for the use of ultrasound in the management of thyroid diseases by non-radiologists. The other essential components of the scheme, upon which guidance will be given, will be locally arranged.
The new curriculum for training and certification for neck ultrasound by non- radiologists has been drawn up jointly by the British Thyroid Association and the Royal College of Radiologists. The programme is also sanctioned by the Society for Endocrinology and approved by the Royal College of Physicians from whom CPD has been requested. The training programme will be appropriate for established clinicians who manage thyroid diseases and thyroid cancer and senior SpRs.
The full programme for the workshop will be circulated after registration. The workshop includes the essential core knowledge to proceed to Level 1 certification and includes sessions on the theory, principles and practice of ultrasound and its application to the neck and to thyroid examination, and biopsy. As well as the appropriate theory content, the course will include practical hands on sessions in neck ultrasound and thyroid biopsy techniques.
An application form will be circulated shortly to members of the British Thyroid Association, the Society for Endocrinology, ABCD and other appropriate organisations.
