Easter is only around the corner…

and one of the benefits of having a small family business is we can give ourselves (and the team) school holidays off! Can’t wait to hit the campsite and get some fresh air after such a busy few months.

Before then plenty of news to catch up on and training to deliver. Among it all we’re sending a huge congratulations to Aidan Baron who was awarded Alumnus of the Year for Industry Excellence by Central Queensland University. Many of you in the ultrasound world no doubt know Aidan already as a passionate ultrasound user/trainer/advocate and a powerhouse in everything he does, with an energy that is contagious. We can see the future of POCUS is in excellent hands.

As always, if there’s something on the horizon that you’d like added to our weeklywrap – or something we’ve missed – let us know.

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – Last night’s Coaching Corner on transvaginal ultrasound was a huge success – the recording will be up within the week. To register for the ZOOM link for future sessions – the first Thursday of each month – check here. If you can’t wait until then have a look at the back catalogue – there’s something for everyone.
