New Ahmadi Hospital (KOC), Kuwait

The organisation, teaching and presentation were good and very relevant to my current practice. Sadly, a couple of techniques which you have kindly asked about for feedback were not demonstrated. Namely the tendo-Achilles hydrodissection, ischial tuberosity injection and some of the ankle techniques. I have stated ‘neutral’ on the above. There were a couple of individuals on the course who were perhaps permitted to utilise more of the practice time than others. Whilst we all learned from watching each other practice, the main learning curve is getting ‘hands-on’ practice. Emphasising the need to allow sufficient time per person might help here. Overall, I was very happy with the course and will recommend it to my colleagues who are considering interventional training. Thank you.

The course was very valuable and apt for me. Although intense, it covered all that was required for me to learn how to apply the skills to practice. I would highly recommend this course.

Luton and Dunstable Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, United Kingdom

This was a great course – it really benefited my clinical development.

AR
Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, United Kingdom

The tutors were excellent, friendly and approachable. Plenty of practical injection experience was given. The course meal was lovely – it was sociable, and the food was great. I think you should consider offering an introduction to MSK US course; it would be very popular.

JS
Noble's Hospital, Douglas, Isle of Man

It was useful to have a radiology perspective on US and intervention. The cross-fertilisation between all of the delegates and trainers was great; having a mixture of specialists worked well. I have already discussed with our manager improvements to implement in our department - thank you.

VJ
County Hospital

It was very good.

AH
ORTO Klinika, Riga, Latvia

It would be helpful for the tutors to ensure that everyone has an equal amount of time practicing injection techniques; there were several people in our subgroup who dominated the practical sessions, resulting in reduced practical time for everyone else. On the second day, I felt that there was reduced teaching enthusiasm from the tutors. Our group did not get the opportunity to practice Achilles hydrodissection or ischial tuberosity injection practice.

MN
Barts and The London ,Mile End Hospital

I very much enjoyed the course, the tutors were very good and helpful. Good organisationaltogether. I realised that most of the participants were radiologists with some certain backgroundin ultrasonography. It would be useful to give some basic advice to non-radiologist participants asan introduction.

Well organised, friendly approachable staff and tutors, excellent tutors in terms of knowledge andexperience. Great night organised on the Friday night. I would not hesitate to recommend thecourse. As an MSK sonographer starting guided injections this was certainly the best course forme.

SM
.Birmingham, UK

Great unique course, certainly was useful. Would be nice to have less breaks and more time to practiceon the cadaver. Day 2 pm was slightly rushed which could have been used to recap all the joints at leastas a demo from the tutor, which might not take a long time. A video link of the tutors performing the scanswould be a great reference guide. Tutors were all excellent. Shridhar definitely helped boosting ourconfidence level. Looking at the needle and not the screen - a great tip, thank you. Fantastic dinner -thank you.

More information beforehand would have been helpful concept and actuality of frozen cadavers withgood quality of machines gave immediate feedback which aided learning,combined with skilledultrasound practitioners with excellent teaching skills Back up with pictures would help consolidatingmemory.

FJ
Timaru Hospital, New Zealand

Felt the afternoon session on day 2 was a little rushed, which was inpart due to the other group notcompleting the hip injections the day before. Although the biopsey was interesting it wasn't relevant forme and so would have liked more time on knee and hip. These are small criticisms. The course wasexcellent and I thoroughly enjoyed it . The teaching was first rate. The skills learnt are already impactingon how I manage patients. Would happily do it all over again this weekend if I could!

MC

Excellent It would be useful to have instructional videos of the procedures for reference.

Excellent course. Would like to attend once more to fine tune the learned skills. Would request to addfluoroscopy guided joint injections to learn and report Mr arthrogram

Overall, very impressed. Every thing was 'hands on'. Never expected cadaveric scan images to bevirtually identical to live patient scans. Techniques, tips and tricks were explained vividly.
