As part of this course package, participants will receive access prior to the training day to Camilla’s flagship online programme:
Veterinary Ultrasound: The Basics.

This structured, self-paced online course is designed specifically for first-opinion vets who want to feel more confident using ultrasound in daily practice. From developing a systematic scanning approach to learning the difference between normal and abnormal findings, this course ensures you’re well-prepared before stepping into the lab. You’ll also benefit from practical insights into using your own machine, bite-sized lessons for busy schedules, and ongoing live Q&A sessions for real-world support.

By reviewing the online content ahead of the in-person course, you’ll arrive ready to make the most of the hands-on learning.

What You’ll Learn on the Day

This one-day intensive training will take place in our dedicated ultrasound lab in Bromley and includes live scanning sessions on dogs and cats. Ideal for vets looking to build real-world scanning skills, the course covers:

• Ultrasound fundamentals – understanding how to optimise your images
• Systematic scanning protocols – ensuring consistency and confidence
• Identification of key abdominal organs – including the liver, spleen, biliary tree, and gastrointestinal tract
• Assessment of fluids, gas, and minerals – what they mean and how to find them
• Image interpretation in context – linking ultrasound findings to clinical cases

By the end of the day, you’ll have a stronger grasp of abdominal ultrasound, more confidence with your scanning technique, and a clearer understanding of how to integrate ultrasonography into everyday practice.
