“The contrast echocardiography eLearning module presents a comprehensive, well-structured, and clinically pertinent exploration of an increasingly integral aspect of advanced echocardiographic practice. As an accredited echocardiographer currently working in a high-volume cardiac centre, I found the unit both intellectually stimulating and directly applicable to day-to-day practice.”

“Receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award was a total surprise. I have been fortunate to have had a career that I have thoroughly enjoyed - particularly echocardiography. I have a lot of people to thank over the years for getting me to this point - too many to mention here. I particularly want to thank all my colleagues who took the time to nominate me for this award as they thought I was deserving of it. I am truly overwhelmed and touched. This is the ‘icing on the cake’ of my career. Thank you so much. Diolch yn fawr!”
We are pleased to have honoured Ms Sheryl Morris with a Lifetime Achievement Award
This recognises Sheryl's tireless work as a cardiorespiratory physiologist in Swansea for over four decades, where she was instrumental in setting up the paediatric and congenital echo service
“The Lifetime Achievement Award means so much to me as someone who has devoted their working life to echocardiography. It represents the past 30 years; however, there are still many years of research, education and practice still to come for me. I will build on these foundations and continue the work we have created.”
We were delighted to award Professor David Oxborough with a Lifetime Achievement Award at BSEcho 2025
This represents decades of hard work, dedication and innovation, demonstrated through academic study, research, teaching and clinical practice. Read his blog here: www.bsecho.org/Publi...

We recently contributed to the NICE technology appraisal on artificial intelligence (AI) assisted echo to support diagnosis of heart failure. AI has great potential to assist echocardiographers and we are grateful for the opportunity to ensure it is introduced safely to maximise benefits to patients

"Overall, attending BSEcho 2025 reinforced the importance of close collaboration between academia, industry, and clinical practice in advancing cardiovascular imaging. The conference has already influenced the direction of several of our ongoing projects – particularly in defining clinical validation pathways for AI algorithms in echocardiography. I left the event with a renewed sense of purpose and a stronger appreciation for the community driving this field forward."
BSEcho 2025 was a chance for our members to explore cutting-edge innovations
Professor Massoud Zolgharni was able to attend thanks to a BSE bursary. He discusses how BSEcho provided him with insights regarding echo and AI
