Welcome to EMUS Learning Hub
This project is a collaborative educational platform developed by clinicians in Emergency Medicine and related specialialties who are passionate about point of care ultrasound (POCUS). The learning hub is an opportunity to share and showcase your real-world cases of bedside ultrasound in acute patient management, demonstrating it's value as a powerful extension of clinical examination. Cases are peer reviewed by a Consultant panel and highlight key learning that integrates POCUS technique with valuable clinical inference. You will also find upcoming POCUS Courses and other educational resourses.
