The workshop has a structured curriculum featuring high-impact lectures centred on advanced interventional skills together with immersive hands-on training to maximise practice opportunities and provide realistic, interventional scenarios to build advanced technical confident.
Lectures will feature in-depth coverage of:
- Fine-needle and core biopsy principles and techniques
- Vacuum-assisted biopsies (VAB) and excisions (VAE)
- Intraoperative ultrasound applications
- Accreditation, infection control and cost planning
