Zedu Weekly Wrap - 1 August 2025

Our calendar dates are live…

through to June 2026 and ready for your online viewing pleasure, giving you plenty of time to plan ahead for your CPD.

Whether you’re looking to consolidate skills, explore a new application, or bring a colleague along for their first course, now’s the time to plan ahead. With dates across our full range – core, advanced, obstetrics, MSK, vascular access, nerve blocks and more – you’ll find something that fits your goals and availability.

As always, everything is hands-on, clinically focused, and taught by educators who understand the realities of practice – because that’s what we do every day.

Plus – as the cultural capital of Australia – there is always something exciting to see and do in Melbourne. Why not tie in a bit of training with a touch of AO tennis, speed through at the Melbourne GP or have a laugh at the International Comedy Festival.

If you know the value of protected learning time, secure your place early.

View the calendar and come and visit soon…

P.S. – don’t forget – if something doesn’t quite fit your learning objectives or availability we can design and deliver a program that meets your needs. Don’t tell everyone though – places fill fast.

With all that out of the way, let’s see what’s been making headlines in the world of ultrasound this week!🚀✨

RAPM – guideline on infection control for regional anaesthesia and pain medicine (27 July)
Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine – The role of serial point-of-care ultrasound during cardiac arrest to predict termination of resuscitation (26 July)

This and plenty more to review – lots to keep you occupied over the weekend!

Off now – see you next week.
