Currently all formal training in the UK for Ultrasound is at a post graduate level. CASE (The Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education), is a recognised body in the UK which accredits Ultrasound Courses in UK Universities.
The courses in the Directory lead to qualifications such as Post Graduate Certificate, Post Graduate Diploma or Msc in Ultrasound. the usual person to take one of these courses would be someone with an appropriate first degree in a healthcare related subject, for example, Radiography or Midwifery.

BMUS runs its own courses which carry with them Royal College of Radiologists CPD credits where appropriate. Courses that come under the BMUS remit are one or two day 'study days' on various topics and specialties. These do not carry with them any formal qualification or award. For details of these, please visit our Conference and Events pages.
Further information on training for specific specialties can be obtained by approaching the relevant Royal College or professional society. You can also see an overview of training for some of the major sub-specialties practising ultrasound by clicking on our Ultrasound Training Advice link. We also recommend the 2005 document produced by the Royal College of Radiologists on Ultrasound Training Recommendations for Medical and Surgical Specialties.
