This two-day course is intended for healthcare professionals managing symptoms of spasticity and palsy by intramuscular injection of botulinum toxin who wish to improve their understanding of anatomic relationships and practice ultrasound-guided injection techniques for specific muscles and muscle groups. It will focus on skills development using systematic anatomically based approaches to ultrasound guided injection, for precise and accurate delivery of Botulinum Toxin into targeted muscles. This event has been independently assessed for CPD accreditation. The event will be held in the Turnbull Centre, a fully equipped anatomy and physiology teaching and learning facility located at the Mile End campus of Queen Mary University of London.
