9th and 10th June 2027
Novotel Liverpool, Paddington Village, Grove St, Liverpool L7 3FA

Course Syllabus

This intensive two-day comprehensive course with hands on workshop, focuses on Ultrasound (US) techniques (hands on training), its application, US guided sampling relevant to head & Neck, and an expert panel discussion which will allow an excellent opportunity to ask questions and discuss clinical scenario, including difficult decision-making scenario.

Core Learning Objectives of this course

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
• Optimize high-frequency US equipment for the imaging of soft tissue structures of the neck.
• Develop a systematic approach to scanning techniques pertinent to head and neck US and utilise strength of neck US to its full potential.
• Systematically evaluate complex thyroid, salivary gland, and lymph node pathologies.
• Apply advanced modalities such as Colour Doppler, Elastography, and Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) to neck soft tissue structures.
• Safely plan and execute US guided fine-needle aspirations (FNA) and core needle biopsies (CNB) in the neck.
• Gain understanding of role and appropriateness of FNA and CNB in various head & neck presentations and pathologies.
• During scenario based talks and hands on workshop delegates will learn and practice various intervention relevant to head & neck (on suitable phantoms).
• Learn and ask questions during the interactive expert panel discussion (containing radiologists, surgeons, oncologists and cytopathologist), providing unique opportunity to discuss difficult and challenging scenario.
• Learn about use of cytology in US-guided FNA techniques, including the context of One Stop Clinic. Cytopathologists will help develop the concepts to hone the sampling techniques to improve adequacy of obtained samples.
