Effective prenatal screening of congenital heart disease course

Overview

The course is primarily aimed at medical and non-medical sonographers who provide a routine fetal anomaly service. It incorporates techniques and ways of improving screening such as effective use of colour and pulsed wave Doppler. It takes into account the increasing demand for high-quality screening to be provided to all pregnant women. It is also suitable for trainees in fetal medicine, paediatric cardiology, obstetric ultrasound and advanced sonographers wishing to extend their knowledge on congenital cardiac anomalies.

This course is approved by the International Society for Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (ISUOG).

Course objectives:

  • to introduce/improve the sonographer’s technique for imaging the fetal heart
  • to enable the sonographer to identify the range of appearances of the normal and abnormal heart
  • to enable the sonographer to distinguish between normal and abnormal features.
