Course Outline​

​

A whole day training session provided online.

Whilst some of the content is taught through presentations, there is an emphasis on practical review of images with participation and group work.

​

Our SVS FEES DOPS framework document (direct observation of procedural skills) will provide you with a road-map of the skills required to develop your FEES competencies. It gives a step by step structured programme of learning so that you know the skills to be developed and assessed. It will provide you with detailed feedback and a useful documentation to take away at the end of the day for continuing your competency development.
