Collaborative Ultrasound Manifesto Launch

3rd Jun 2026

The British Medical Ultrasound Society is pleased to have collaborated with four leading professional bodies and organisations to set out a shared vision for the future of ultrasound.

BMUS alongside AXREM, the British Institute of Radiology (BIR), the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS), the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM), and the Society of Radiographers (SoR) have formed the collaborative working group to represent clinical, scientific, educational and industry expertise.

Ultrasound services face increasing pressure from workforce shortages, inconsistent training structures, variable governance, ageing equipment, and slow adoption of innovation. These challenges are systemic and cannot be resolved by any single profession or organisation.

The manifesto sets out shared priorities, identifies barriers to safe and sustainable ultrasound delivery, and defines coordinated actions needed to ensure high‑quality, equitable ultrasound services—now and for the future.

We warmly invite you to join us at UKIO for the formal launch of this landmark collaborative document at the UKIO Congress 2026 in ACC Liverpool on the 8th June at 5 PM.
