ABOUT SONIC
01
Learn
Build practical ultrasound skills that translate directly to patient care.
SONIC workshops prioritise hands-on scanning, expert supervision and real-world application. From regional anaesthesia and MSK assessment to echocardiography and vascular access, every session is designed to sharpen technique, improve image acquisition and strengthen clinical decision-making in acute settings.
02
Connect
Learn alongside clinicians who use ultrasound where it matters most.
SONIC brings together emergency physicians, intensivists, anaesthetists and acute care clinicians in a collaborative learning environment. Small-group workshops and interactive sessions create space for shared experience, peer discussion and practical problem-solving across disciplines.
03
Advance
Expand your scope, refine your practice and stay clinically current.
Through expert-led lectures, debates and literature reviews, SONIC challenges clinicians to think critically about how ultrasound is used at the bedside. Sessions focus on evidence-based practice, emerging applications and the nuanced decisions that shape high-quality POCUS in modern acute care.

The Location
Noosa, Queensland
Noosa offers a rare balance of natural landscape and vibrant coastal culture.
Mornings can begin with a walk through Noosa National Park. Evenings unfold along Hastings Street. Time away from the clinical environment creates space to think clearly, connect meaningfully and return to practice with renewed focus.
SONIC 2026 pairs high-level clinical education with a setting designed to elevate it.
