Here you can find all the modules and masterclasses that we commission as part of our continuing workfroce development (CWD) portfolio.

You can filter the results by the following:

  • course type
  • university
  • level and credits
  • subject area

A masterclass is an update course lasting one day. Please read the description carefully around what will be delivered. A masterclass is not at master’s level. Some will be a basic introduction to a subject and some may be building on previous knowledge. A masterclass does not prepare anyone to deliver specialist services. We recommend you speak directly to your chosen university about the details of any masterclass you are interested in.

A module will have academic credits attached to it at either level 6 (bachelor degree level) or level 7 (master’s level). You will be expected to complete an academic assignment. Some modules will last for 9–12 months and some may be completed within three months.

You can also search via keyword using the search box on the right hand side.

There is also a PDF of the full portfolio available, which can be downloaded here.

What is it about?

This module provides trainees with the underpinning scientific knowledge and practical skills to safely and competently use ultrasound instrumentation. This module delivers a baseline knowledge that underpins the specialist areas of the physics of ultrasound, technology in vascular science, haemodynamics of the peripheral vascular system and safety.

Who is it for?

Health care science workforce


What will participants learn?


Intended Knowledge Outcomes
•Demonstrate a clear understanding of the fundamental scientific principles, design, and operation of vascular ultrasound instrumentation.
•Critically evaluate the artefacts and sources of error inherent or produced in vascular ultrasound images/spectra and explain how they can be recognised, utilised and minimised by the user.
•Critically evaluate the importance of local and national quality assurance and safety recommendations when assessing ultrasound machines.
•Demonstrate a clear understanding of quality assurance and safety requirements when operating vascular ultrasound instrumentation.
•Demonstrate a fundamental understanding of the haemodynamics of blood flow in normal and diseased vessels and how these characteristics are represented with Doppler ultrasound.

How will it be delivered?
