It’s just gone under the month mark for Christmas – there are a couple of little Santas helpers here all too ready to remind us.

Plenty of pre yuletide treats for ultrasound fans this week – honourable mention goes to the team at @UAlberta_Sono for some cracking resources, and the latest edition of the Pocus Journal is out too a fantastic read.

Enjoy and see you soon.

Suean and Mike

P.S. – The final #coachingcorner for the year is coming up December 3 – in ‘breaking news’ we’ll be covering fractures on ultrasound (can you believe they let me get away with writing this…). Join our community of clever and catch up with recordings of the previous sessions – available for you free any time.
