ULTRASOUND
TRAINING TO EXCLUDE DEVELOPMENTAL DYSPLASIA
OF THE NEONATAL HIP Two
Study Days Monday
and Tuesday, 23rd
February and Venue: This is the second year running for this two day course aimed at all health professionals involved in the diagnosis and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The focus is on the ultrasound examination using the Graf measurement system and includes treatment of DDH in the neonate. The study days will include theoretical sessions and practical sessions. Registration fee: £230 For further details please e-mail pauline.bacon@ekht.nhs.uk/ carol.bryden@ekht.nhs.uk or contact Pauline Bacon/ Carol Bryden 01227 864148 This is not a DUG course, but may be of interest to paediatric physiotherapists. The course represents the theoretical and technical training needed to perform ultrasound examinations using the Graf classification. There is a course requirement for a clinical placement, which you would need to organise yourself. I believe the requirement is that you will need to log 100 supervised scans. From my own experience this is a relatively straightforward (by ultrasound standards) technique and a natural role extension for physiotherapists working with neonatal hips. For details of the course please contact Pauline at the above address.
