Due to the demand for sonographers to train in DVTs and carotids regionally, we would like to encourage sonographers to take an interest in this study day. The event will consist of introductory lectures followed by two demonstration sessions featuring live scanning of volunteers.

After a few years of hibernation, we are thrilled to announce that the University of Derby's Nature Connections Conference will return in 2024. This event will bring together researchers and practitioners interested in nature connection to share and discuss the latest research, ideas, and applications in the field.

This interactive, face-to-face, workshop is ideal for students, and academics across all levels. Participants will be introduced to the epistemology that underpins IPA, discuss research questions and IPA interview/focus group schedule design, review the stages involved in analysis, and have time to work through a given data set at a level ‘beyond description’.
