Who this course is for
Emergency medicine doctors, ACCS trainees, foundation doctors, acute medicine, anaesthetic and critical care doctors, orthopaedic and surgical trainees, advanced clinical practitioners working within an appropriate governance framework, international medical graduates entering UK acute practice, and doctors preparing for MRCEM or FRCEM. It suits clinicians who understand the theory of FIB but lack confidence performing it.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course you should have a better understanding of how to:
- Select appropriate patients for FIB
- Recognise important contraindications
- Identify relevant anatomy using ultrasound
- Optimise the ultrasound image
- Plan an appropriate needle trajectory
- Maintain needle-tip visualisation
- Demonstrate a simulated ultrasound-guided FIB
- Apply principles of local anaesthetic safety
- Recognise important complications
- Assess block effectiveness
- Monitor and document the patient appropriately
- Continue towards supervised clinical competency
Important: what this course is and is not
This is an independent practical training programme delivered by Kung Medics. Completing it does not certify independent competence, replace supervised clinical experience, count as employer credentialing, replace local competency assessment or sign-off, or authorise independent regional anaesthesia practice where local approval is required. Work within your scope of practice and follow your employer's policies, supervision requirements and regional anaesthesia governance.
