Farewell 2025, welcome 2026!

2025 is a very fruitful year, and is full of activities. From RACEplus to Practical Intermediate Echo (PIE), and finally to Advanced Critical Care Echo courses, we have pretty much got every level covered. Whether you are a novice, or someone who wants to start Doppler echo measurements, or one that want to learn some advanced topics, you will find a course that suits you.

The format and content of the course are hightly praised by the participants. The fact that we were invited to return to some countries to run the courses is a testament to the quality of courses.

In terms of charitable activities, we funded the upgrading of Blue Mountain Hospital Education Centre. The BMH Education Centre is now sound proof and have better audio-visual facilities, both of which are vital to high quality education and meetings. NICCER also funded some nurses and sonographers to carry out some teaching activities in neighbouring Asian countries, their experience and knowledge make a great impact to clinical practice in these countries.

Looking forward, you can be assured that our quality echo education will continue into 2026 (The Year of the Horse). Like horses, we are gentle but energetic, sophisticated but decisive.

Finally, let us wish you all the best and every success in 2026!
