October Hands-On Cohort
Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October 2026 · Birmingham
OCTOBER 2026FULLY BOOKED
EchoMasters Hands-On TTE Foundation Programme
A Three-Stage Skill-Building System,
With Intensive Hands-On Training.
Prepare. Master. Reinforce. You arrive ready to scan, spend two days in Birmingham with the probe in your hand, and keep building afterwards. Structured for acute care, on-calls and emergency decision-making.
We count hands-on practice in hours of skill building, not minutes of exposure.
14 teaching hours, of which 11 to 12 hours are supervised scanning
More corrected hands-on time than many clinicians get in months.
Maximum 12 delegates
The small cohort is the product, because scanning skills need correction.
Prepare, Master, Reinforce
Pre-course preparation for every delegate. Post-course Learning Hub access for 12 months on the All-Inclusive and Executive pathways.
Next cohort: 23–24 January 2027, Birmingham. Capped at 12 delegates.
Approved FUSIC® Heart Course · BSE Level 1 Aligned
14 teaching hours, including 11–12 hours of supervised practical sessions
Registration closes at 23:59 UK time on Saturday 16 January 2027, or earlier if all 12 places are booked.
Most echo courses give exposure.
This programme builds real clinical performance.
Standard foundation echo courses
Lecture-heavy format with limited hands-on repetition.
Larger cohorts at a lower fee. Attend two or three and you can spend more than this programme costs, and still not hold the probe for long enough to change anything.
Delegates often leave with exposure, but without structured scanning confidence.
EchoMasters Hands-On TTE Foundation Programme
Three-stage structured pathway: preparation, supervised scanning and post-course reinforcement.
Maximum 12 delegates with continuous instructor-led correction, at three to four delegates per instructor.
Built for acute care, on-calls and emergency decision-making, with structured reporting and clinical reasoning.
Skills, not just attendance
This is not a lecture-based echo course.
It is a consultant-led, scanning-first skills programme designed to turn echo knowledge into safer, more structured bedside practice.
Not hours of lectures with brief probe exposure
Not passive observation from the back of the room
Not a certificate-driven weekend with little practical consolidation
Built to develop confidence, structure and clinically useful echo decision-making.
The Real Problem
Why clinicians still feel uncertain with echo in acute care
Most clinicians do not struggle because they lack intelligence or motivation.
They struggle because echo training often jumps too quickly from theory to expectation — without enough supervised scanning, correction and repetition.
•
You understand the theory, but struggle to obtain consistent views.
•
You can recognise some findings, but feel uncertain when the clinical question is urgent.
•
You have limited opportunities for direct probe-handling feedback.
•
You do not yet have a clear pathway from beginner to safe, structured acute-care echo practice.
The EchoMasters Foundation Programme was built to solve exactly this gap: structured preparation, intensive supervised scanning and post-course reinforcement for real acute-care practice.
The Goal
Imagine approaching your next echo with a clear structure
Not because you know everything. But because you have practised the foundations properly — with supervision, correction and repetition.
✓
You can obtain the core views with more purpose.
✓
You understand what the images are trying to tell you.
✓
You have a repeatable framework for common acute-care echo questions.
✓
You know the limits of a focused scan — and when to escalate.
That is real foundation-level echo confidence: not overconfidence, but structured clinical reasoning supported by practical scanning skill.

Your 3-Stage EchoMasters Pathway
A structured clinical journey for acute care, on-calls, and real-world echo decision-making.
Before, during and after the hands-on course
Prepare. Master. Reinforce.
Every pathway includes preparation and the two-day hands-on course. All-Inclusive and Executive add 12 months of post-course reinforcement.
-
Phase 1
Prepare
Opens immediately after registration
Build your foundations before you arrive
Work through the online preparation portal and eBook. Review echo physics, probe control, image optimisation, standard views and foundation-level reporting, ready to make the most of supervised practice.
Included in every pathway. Access continues until the end of the second hands-on day. Preparation is highly recommended, but is not an entry requirement.
-
Phase 2
Master
23–24 January 2027 · Birmingham
Practise with direct instructor feedback
Two days of live-volunteer scanning, simulator-based pathology and red-flag recognition, structured scanning drills and reporting practice. Capped at 12 delegates, with 3–4 delegates per instructor.
14 teaching hours, including 11–12 hours of supervised practical sessions. This is the cohort timetable, shared within supervised groups, not individual probe time.
-
Phase 3
Reinforce
Activated within 24 hours after the course
Keep learning through clinical cases
Consolidate the hands-on teaching through the Interactive Learning Hub, with structured case-based learning, reporting practice and troubleshooting resources. Content is reviewed and updated as required under the Course Director’s supervision.
All-Inclusive and Executive only. Access lasts 12 months from the date it is granted. Ready & Prepared does not include the post-course Hub.
Executive Mentorship: adds three 60-minute private online sessions with the Course Director, using instructor-provided cases tailored to your educational needs. Session dates are agreed with you. Course attendance and online reinforcement do not replace workplace supervision or formal accreditation requirements.

Delegates Feedback
What Our Delegates Are Saying
Real feedback from clinicians who experienced the EchoMasters hands-on pathway — from pre-course preparation to supervised scanning and clinical reporting practice.
“
Amna Ahsan
Junior doctor, UK
"I am grateful to Dr Mansour and team for organising this course. I attended it as a personal interest as a resident doctor with interest in cardiology. The pre course material helped me to understand basics and then the 2 day course further solidified the course. The hands on time made me apply the theory to practice and the supervisors helped me to correct the planes . At the end the reporting section enabled me to articulate my findings in a detailed way to improve patient care. Truly the best course."
“
Anand Damodaran
ITU Consultant, UK
"A good mixture of lectures, demos, use of high fidelity mannequin and live volunteers to assist with learning. More importantly great pre course modules and post course support. Learned a lot in two days of the course, especially on how to report the findings observed."
“
Khine Wai Yan
ST4 Acute Medicine, UK
"EchoMasters is well structured, very good course with good quality of hands-on time. The bonus is case reporting with different scenarios. It is worth to attend the course and will recommend to other colleagues who want to attend Echo courses in the future."
“
Khaled El Magraby
Consultant Acute Medicine, UK
"Well done all EchoMasters Team!
Highly informative and organised with a very good learning materials and a good time for a lot of hands-on. You have done an amazing course. Please keep up."
“
Hamritha Manoharan
Junior Specialist Doctor, UK
"A thorough course that explores the basics and helps build confidence from foundation level. Highly recommend to those who would love to learn ECHO from experts!"
“
Aparna Sebastian
Non-training Resident Doctor, UK
"Excellent course that I would recommend to anybody interested in learning basics for ECHO or starting FUSICS or BSE training. The pre-course modules massively helped in getting the best out of the 2 day course, which was extensively hands on and well balanced with theoretical concepts."
