It’s Good Friday…

so I’ll keep this short before we get some sweets (the hot cross buns are calling). Suean is almost back on track – just in time to catch up with many of you at AIUM in the lone star state. Apparently there is a total solar eclipse – just as well sonographers are used to working in the dark!

If you’re not busy searching for/making/eating chocolate this weekend, why not take a look at one of these free resources:

• Michael Prats (@PratsEM) talks to Resa Lewiss and Adiara Landry on learning and microskills (25 March).
• Lauren Koffmann (@LaurenKoffmann) on integrating ultrasound into neurocritical training and practice (27 March).
• Adrian Wong (@avkwong) and Segun Olusanya (@iceman_ex) have published ‘Utility of the Venous Excess Ultrasound (VEXUS) score to track dynamic change in volume status in patients undergoing fluid removal during haemodialysis – the ACUVEX study’ (29 March).

Bouncing out the door now…see you next week.
