Dear colleagues,

As the interest in the field of neuromuscular ultrasound is increasing, we decided to expand our teaching activities to include an international hands-on basic and intermediate neuromuscular ultrasound course. The first edition of this Dutch Neuromuscular Ultrasound Course will take place next year, from August 30th to September 1st 2023 in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands.

This course will offer three full days of interactive and hands-on neuromuscular ultrasound, and is ideal for practitioners who consider starting with ultrasound in their own practice and wish to master the basic skills in an short and efficient format. Topics will range from setting up your equipment, basic scanning of entrapment neuropathies, brachial plexus scanning and small skin nerves, an introduction to ultrasound-guided injection and muscle ultrasound including diaphragm scanning. Participants will have ample time to practice their skills in small groups under tutelage of our instructors. The course will be held in English throughout.

The Skills2Care teaching facility in Nieuwegein is centrally located in the country, about 45 minutes from Schiphol airport by car and 1.5 hours by public transport.

The maximum number of participants will be 24, with four participants for each ultrasound station during the hands-on practice sessions. The full course fee is € 995, we also offer one-day access to the course for € 500 per day.

For any inquiries please contact the organizers. On behalf of the Dutch Neuromuscular Ultrasound working committee we look forward to welcome you and your colleagues to this event!
