GP Ultrasound

Leads:

Aim: To develop young family doctors knowledge and skills in clinical ultrasound
Objectives: To create a network of early career GP/FM doctors with an interest in clinical ultrasound.

To identify and describe how clinical ultrasound is used in family medicine in Europe

To identify and meet young family medicine doctors training needs in clinical ultrasound through teaching

To further develop knowledge and teaching of clinical ultrasound in family
medicine through research (with a particular focus on young family doctors)

Plans:

  • Find out the situation in Europe
  • Try to define what training is necessary for a family medicine doctor in order to be able to use this technique and in which scenarios it should be used.
  • Distant future – workshops at congresses, forums and preconferences, more advanced ultrasound courses for those who are already familiar with the technique and even rotations (Hippocrates, FM360…) with family doctors who use this technique in their daily practice.
