From emergency vet to ultrasound enthusiast, my journey has been anything but ordinary! 🐾

After graduating in 2006 and spending years in the fast-paced world of emergency and critical care, I took the leap into ultrasound, earning my CertAVP in 2018.

The transition wasn’t easy, but the experience I gained in those late-night shifts, practicing on my Labrador Frida (R.I.P. 💔), set the foundation for what I do today.

Since then, I’ve been on a mission to support first opinion vets, helping them feel confident with ultrasound and enhancing patient care with every scan. 🩺

What was your path into the field? I’d love to hear your stories in the comments below!

🐾 Let’s talk about those tricky scans for a second.

You’re mid-scan, trying to locate the pancreas, but it’s just not happening. You’re second-guessing yourself, and you wish you could hit pause and ask someone for advice.

That’s exactly why I created FOVU Club 😍

I’m Camilla, a vet surgeon for almost 20 years and an experienced ultrasonographer. After teaching hundreds of vets and vet nurses, I kept hearing the same thing: “I wish I had ongoing support after the course”.

So, I built FOVU Club to provide exactly that.

Here’s what you’ll get as a member:

✨ Real-time help with the FOVU AI Tool: Need guidance mid-scan? The AI pulls trusted answers from our exclusive content library, from case studies to live Q&A recordings. It grows smarter as more content is added.

✨ Monthly lessons and live Q&As with me: I’ll help you refine your skills step by step.

✨ Insights from guest speakers: Learn from other experienced professionals in the field.

✨ A supportive community: You’ll never feel like you’re figuring it out alone.

🚨 Membership opens only once a year, and doors are opening this January.

Let’s make tricky scans a thing of the past—together. 💙

Here at FOVU, I wanted to create a community of veterinary professionals who could learn and progress their ultrasound skills in an easy and realistic way.

How are you at identifying structures on ultrasound? 🤔

Take a look at the first slide and let me know in the comments what you think we might be looking at - plus, are there any abnormalities?

(psst. the answer is in slide two, but test your knowledge!) 📚

Of course, it's part of the intestines but the muscularis layer is a little thicker than it should be.

Did you guess correctly? 🤔

Ultrasound scans can vary massively in the time that they take, and the different restraint positions can sometimes seem a little uncomfortable for our furry friends 🐶

If you're not using a sedation, how do you keep your patients calm and still throughout their procedure?

I know that ultrasound can sometimes be a little intimidating, because I used to feel exactly like you.

Thanks to the birth of FOVU, I am able to give veterinary professionals the skills and knowledge to grow their confidence and improve their diagnosis with online and in-practice veterinary ultrasound training 😄

Ultrasonography, more than any other diagnostic imaging technology, is particularly prone to mistakes because the problem with veterinary ultrasound is that it’s not used enough - but I can help change that!

Meet Eugene: Building his confidence, one scan at a time 😄

Like many vets out there, Eugene knew he wanted to incorporate more scanning into his practice, but felt he lacked confidence. Take a look at what he had to say about his experience of learning with us.

I love hearing your reviews on what I have to offer here at FOVU. After all, this is my passion, and I'm so pleased that my love for ultrasound shines through 😄

My website is simply brimming with courses, blog posts and machine reviews for you to get your teeth into, just watch out for any fur or ultrasound gel that can make its way in there too... 🤣

What makes a good ultrasound CPD? 🤔

Sometimes, ultrasound can leave you feeling a little... stumped? 🤔 Do you ever feel like you can't find an organ, don't understand the image, or sometimes your picture appears squiggly?

That pesky bladder - it sure can avoid the needle when it wants to! 😆 Just remember to take your time and truly visualise the bladder on your ultrasound machine.
