The basic critical care transthoracic echocardiography course is an intensive full day course. The focus of the course is on practical sessions. This course is designed to equip participants with basic theory and the practical skills required to perform a targeted critical care study. Our aim is to teach the skills required to perform a targeted critical care scan and to provide a “stepping stone” to further echocardiography learning. To this end, an image bank of both normal findings and pathology is provided at course completion as is a list of resources to enable participants to extend their skills. Accreditation and maintenance of standards are difficult aspects of critical care echocardiography that are discussed. Please note course size is limited to 12 participants to maximise scanning time
