Angie Lloyd-Jones
Angie began as a Diagnostic Radiographer in the late 1980s and embarked on her ultrasound career in West Sussex in the early 1990s. She gained experience across the UK, leaving behind skilled practitioners in various specialties. Angie's roles included setting up ultrasound services, clinical ultrasound tutoring, and part-time lecturing for CASE accredited programs. Later, she joined a UK-wide imaging company as Head of Ultrasound, enhancing her business and clinical management skills. She transitioned to small animal ultrasound, recognizing the training challenges faced by primary care vets. Passionate about quality and standards, Angie co-authored professional guidelines for small animal abdominal ultrasound, aiming for ECVDI endorsement in 2022
Julie Burnage
Julie began her career as a Radiographer in North West England in the early 1980s before moving to North Wales in 1987. She started her ultrasound training in the NHS in 1988 and, after qualifying, pursued teaching to share her passion for ultrasound. In 1995, she established an ultrasound scanning company offering diagnostic scans to NHS and self-pay patients in GP surgeries and clinics. Despite initial skepticism from the imaging community, Julie advocated for 'care closer to home' and gained support from Radiologists who believed in her business model.
The company thrived, eventually merging with another provider in 2013 and being acquired by venture capitalists in 2020. Julie, seeking a new challenge, joined Aspire UCS alongside Angie, who had experience in a small animal specialist hospital. Together, they provided ultrasound services and trained vets, vet nurses, and human medics. During the Covid-19 lockdown, Julie and Angie wrote professional guidelines for small animal abdominal ultrasound, which are awaiting endorsement from ECVDI as of 2022.

Can I have the course notes to download?

Do I have to pass any tests to complete the course?
We want to you to exit our courses feeling more confident and competent to undertake scans, and blended learning is a great way to help you meet these learning objectives. We have added a few MCQs to the end of each course section to consolidate your learning and help you to feel confident that you have grasped those all-important points from our video lessons. If you don't get the questions right the first time around, you can repeat the MCQ test and try again. We don't think you will have a problem though, because all the information to pass the questions are included in the videos and the course notes.
Why do you include 'The Fundamentals of Ultrasound System Controls and Image Optimisation' as a part of a bundle option for some of your courses?
We have decades of experience in both performing and teaching clinical ultrasound to multidisciplinary colleagues. We KNOW how critical it is to your diagnostic confidence and capabilities, that you fully understand how to drive an ultrasound system before you start to scan patients. Since ultrasound is THE most operator-dependent form of imaging, you need to maximise your chances of reaching the correct clinical impression each time you scan. By having a sound appreciation of the underpinning knowledge of your ultrasound system function and controls, you can support optimum patient outcomes. If there isn't a bundle option for your chosen course, then basic ultrasound instrumentation and image optimisation will already be included in the video learning package!
Can I fast forward through the course without completing all the lessons?
You can revisit previous lessons but the course runs on a linear platform and you must complete each lesson in order before progressing on to the next. We have designed the courses to ensure that you receive the information in a logical and structured manner, so that the course flows well for you.
