The world of ultrasound has undergone a transformational shift. As technology has reduced in size, expense and complexity, ultrasound has escaped from ‘traditional’ imaging orbits and is now used across the medical spectrum.

This poses the fundamental challenge - ensuring that point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) users possess the clinical knowledge, technical skills and critical decision making abilities to exploit the full potential of this technology.


Enter SonoAus

An initiative of Ultrasound Training Solutions - Australia's leading POCUS training provider - SonoAus18 builds on the momentum of SonoAus16and the clinical knowledge of years of ultrasound program delivery to be designed like no other ultrasound conference in Australia.


- Bringing together the world's best -

We have brought together three of the world's leaders in the field of POCUS education - Chris Fox, Rachel Liu and Arun Nagdev - and with their input carefully designed a program focused on delivering more learning, more interaction and more fun.

The result - SonoAus18 has been designed different to other ultrasound conferences.


With a cutting edge 3-day educational program we've mixed the program up with a focus on themes - which happen to be based on characters in Lewis Carroll's Alice through the Looking Glass - with each session providing a mixture of material and delivery styles that will engage and entertain.


Bringing our international superstars and our faculty together for the first time DownUnder, you get two days of programming designed to develop and extend your POCUS repertoire; topped off with a day of scanning with the stars at our 'Madhatter's Tea Party', this year's program promises to be as innovative as ever.


Aimed at anyone that uses, is interested in or would like to know more about POCUS - whether working in a primary care, pre-hospital or hospital setting - this is the one ultrasound event you need to attend. We guarantee you’ll come away inspired.

Come to one, two or three SonoAus18 days - the option is yours!
Don't miss the party!!!
