Schedule

Scanning infants and children either fills you with dread or pure exhilaration, depending on your experience.
This workshop will endeavour to provide a framework for common paediatric pathologies, along with practical tips and tricks to scanning, to boost both knowledge and confidence.

The aim is to move everyone’s experience of paediatric ultrasound firmly into the latter category.

The workshop will cover:

  • Abdominal scanning and age-specific pathologies

  • Cranial ultrasound

  • Spinal ultrasound

  • Live scanning demonstrations (models permitting)



We’re also delighted to share the opportunity to incorporate guided tours of Peninsula Health’s brand new Acute Tower facility into the program.
This state-of-the-art development showcases the very latest in healthcare design and innovation.

Speakers

Sara Kernick Chief Sonographer | Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne

Sara Kernick is the Chief Sonographer at The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne, where she has worked for 23 years. She began her medical imaging career as a diagnostic radiographer and has since tried her hand at many differing roles in ultrasound roles, including women’s imaging and corporate applications.

Despite enjoying these diverse roles, the lure of paediatric ultrasound proved irresistible.
 

We are also excited to share that a guest speaker will be joining the paediatric seminar to provide a complementary perspective, with further details to be announced shortly.
