Module duration
The advanced Gynaecology Ultrasound course module is delivered in two stages. The total duration of the module including revision and assessments is approximately 48 weeks.
Advanced Gynaecology Ultrasound
What will you learn?
In Advanced Gynaecology Ultrasound course, you will learn and be able to; (1) apply detailed knowledge of pelvic anatomy, the physiology of the menstrual cycle and related pelvic/menstrual pathologies in the practice of advanced gynaecological ultrasound; (2) discriminate accurately between benign and malignant masses using advanced ultrasound technology; (3) prepare and care for patients appropriately during ultrasound examinations and perform technical procedures; (4) use ultrasound examination to identify complex and abnormal conditions of the pelvis; (5) solve clinical problems using diagnostic tests and the correct application of ultrasound theory; (6) critically evaluate the evidence base for current theory, methods and techniques used in gynaecology imaging and reflect on the impact of these in healthcare practice, and; (7) appraise your professional role and accountability and defend your practice in the light of accepted standards of care.
Advanced gynaecology ultrasound module is studied after or, subject to assessment of prior experience, in conjunction with fundamentals of gynaecological ultrasound module.
Structure
This module will start with an initial study period of 8 weeks. In Stage 1 you will develop your core knowledge and skills. This is facilitated by faculty lectures, e-books links, a vast selection of videos demonstrating key gynaecological scanning techniques and carefully selected open source learning material. During this stage you will be expected to demonstrate core ultrasound scanning skills on simulation, if it is available to you, and take a number of online quizzes to demonstrate your retention of learned material.
In Stage 2 you will submit for faculty review representative images or cine loops of common gynaecological case scenarios identified on transabdominal and transvaginal scans such as pathologies in the differential diagnosis of acute and chronic pelvic pain, fibroids, deep infiltrating endometriosis, uterine and myometrial pathology, complex ovarian masses including classification of lesions using IOTA classification standards, 3D images of gynaecological pathologies, where relevant to your clinical role and practice. If appropriate to your role, you will utilise the above skills to formulate a plan of action.
During the course, you will have 30 hours of free practice on the ScanTrainer simulator in Cardiff. These may be taken in half days (09:00 – 13:00 or 13:00 – 17:00) or prearranged blocks of full-day practice. At the end of the module, you will have assessments of knowledge and practical skills.
