So you can stop feeling:
- Unconfident with your ultrasound machine and not knowing where to start.

There is no ultrasound resource for the General Practitioner that is as unique and valuable to fill the need for veterinarians who are serious about becoming competent sonographers in my opinion. Camilla Edwards is an outstanding instructor who is passionate, knowledgeable and just plain fun to work with to learn this skill that any dedicated professional can accomplish.

I’m Camilla, and I used to feel like you...
A lack of awareness of ultrasound machines, unsure what probe to use, confused by poor images and worried about a limited knowledge of the numerous differential diagnoses.
Then after falling in love with ultrasound after qualifying as a veterinarian in 2006 and enrolling in numerous ultrasound courses, I sat down and thought about what I needed when I was learning to scan.
- Intensive support over a period of time
- Good demonstrations of how to scan specific organs.
- Demonstrations of important pathology to look out for: a clear idea of what normal looks like!
- Affordable.
With this in mind, I decided to create online courses for vets and veterinary nurses to deepen and elevate their ultrasound knowledge and scanning confidence.
