The 2021 RCEM curriculum brought changes to the PoCUS syllabus, strengthening the process of acquiring and maintaining essential competencies in a sustainable manner across postgraduate training years.
RCEM recommends a well-structured PoCUS education and training programme - fully supported, funded, and resourced by the regional school of EM. This national PoCUS training strategy will be led and supported by a team of PoCUS experts from across Scotland. The work will support and consolidate existing local teaching, which is variable and geographically inequitable, despite the best efforts of EM Consultants under extreme clinical service pressures.
Collaborating with St Andrews University in the design, development and delivery of courses brings Scotland’s EM trainees unique access to state-of-the-art facilities, the latest AI and augmented reality technology to practice live scanning and simulated needle insertion as well as expert faculty and cadaveric material for realistic scanning skills acquisition.
