POCUS for Acute Presentations in Primary Care
November 22 - 22, 2025 | Plymouth, UK
POCUS for Acute Presentations in Primary Care: Early Diagnosis for Better Outcomes St Neot’s Surgery. GUSI is working to create a better world in which every healthcare practitioner is empowered to offer a rapid, reliable, accurate ultrasound-enabled diagnosis directly at the point-of-care, for any patient, anywhere.
POCUS for Acute Presentations in Primary Care Course Description:
Join us for an interactive, hands-on study day in Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS), designed for doctors in training, GPs, and consultants who want to sharpen their bedside diagnostic skills. Through focused lectures, live scanning sessions, and case-based discussions, you will gain practical experience in lung, abdominal, vascular, and cardiac ultrasound. This CPD-accredited course (6 credits) will show you how POCUS can transform acute presentations in primary care and beyond—improving accuracy, saving time, and enhancing patient outcomes.
By the end of this CPD-accredited study day (6 points CPD), participants will understand the principles and evidence supporting POCUS in primary and acute care, develop practical skills in focused lung, gallbladder, renal, AAA, DVT, and basic echocardiography scanning, and apply these techniques to acute clinical presentations. They will be able to integrate POCUS findings into decision-making at the bedside, improve diagnostic accuracy and patient pathways, and recognise the logistics and limitations of using ultrasound in everyday GP and acute medicine practice.
Participants can purchase refreshments & food at a nearby store. Free Parking available –

What Past Attendees Say
As a Family Physician, I see immense value in integrating POCUS into primary care. It enhances diagnostic accuracy, improves patient confidence, and speeds up clinical decision-making—all from the bedside.
Dr Emma Khabure
The best thing that has ever happened in my nursing practice. Early referral of cases and detection of abnormal presentation especially in antenatal and labour ward has helped reduce delays that used to happen.
Veronica Matsangoni
Learning is made easier by the support provided to each student.

Bedside ultrasound gave me greater diagnostic certainty [in minutes], which I could share with confidence with my patients.
