The workshop is currently fully booked but you can add your name to the waiting list . You will be notified when a space becomes available.
The NIHR Community Healthcare MIC are inviting interested clinicians, researchers, policy makers, healthcare innovators, commissioners and the diagnostics industry to discuss how to develop community-based ultrasound delivery at scale and pace by empowering generalist decision making in community settings in the acute care pathway and supporting the delivery of acute ambulatory care, closer to home.
Through interactive sessions with clinicians and diagnostics strategists we will explore the community clinical problems where ultrasound can make a difference and determine what new technological advances will be required to bring ultrasound to the front door of community healthcare delivery.
Who should attend?
Generalist and specialist clinicians working in acute care pathways, with particular focus on ambulatory care and care in community settings, researchers who have an interest in point-of-care imaging development and support, healthcare innovators, commissioners of community healthcare, representatives from the diagnostic imaging industry.
