Ultrasound Guided Fascia Iliaca Block Course
This half-day course is specifically designed for clinicians working in Emergency Medicine and Acute Care who wish to master the Fascia Iliaca Block (FIB).
As the “gold standard” for hip and femur fracture analgesia, the FIB is now a core clinical skill in the ED. This intensive session provides the theoretical background and extensive hands-on practice required to perform this block safely and effectively under ultrasound guidance.

- Ultrasound Essentials: Probe selection, image optimisation, and knobology.
- Anatomical Recognition: Identifying soft tissue landmarks, the femoral nerve, and the fascia iliaca compartment.
- Needle Techniques: Mastering in-plane needle insertion.
- Regional Options: Comparative techniques for the supra-inguinal and infra-inguinal approaches to the Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block, alongside an introduction to the PENG (Pericapsular Nerve Group) block
What Skills Will You Develop?
By the end of this session, you will be confident in using ultrasound to guide needle placement for lower limb analgesia. You will:
- Refine Image Acquisition: Learn to obtain the high-quality images necessary for safe block delivery.
- Master Needle Guidance: Practice needle insertion and hydrodissection using anatomical models.
- Utilise AI Assistance: Improve your needle-tracking skills using NeedleTrainer™ (AI-based guidance).
Standardise Safety: Implement rigorous safety protocols for suprainguinal and infrainguinal approaches
How Is the Course Taught?
To maximise practical time, you will be provided with short pre-course videos covering ultrasound machine handling and basic image optimisation.
On the day, the course consists of brief, high-impact lectures and live demonstrations on normal subjects. This is followed by extensive practical rotations. You will practice scanning on healthy volunteers and refine your needle skills using gel blocks, specialized fascia iliaca models, and NeedleTrainer™ technology.
