We are a friendly, forward‑looking department and continuous professional development is actively encouraged to support technical excellence. There may be opportunities to extend your areas of expertise with additional training.

• Participate in the management of the ultrasound department and in the audit and clinical governance programmes.
• Communicate with patients, their relatives, and others about the purpose of the examinations and the scan results (in line with departmental guidelines).
