Pause and Check
Free ‘Have you paused and checked?’ posters and card
‘Have you paused and checked?’ posters and a prompt card have been launched today to support ultrasound practitioners in clinical imaging services. They are designed to act as a ready reminder of the checks that need to be made when any ultrasound examination is undertaken.
The posters are designed in PDF format to allow for easy downloading, they can then be displayed in the department as required. There are A4 and A3 sizes available and also an A6 version that is small enough to be placed close to a machine or work station.
They have been developed by a joint working party from the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) and the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS). They follow on from the publication of similar posters published by the SCoR for examinations involving ionising radiation.
We do hope that you will find them helpful. Feedback is welcomed via https://www.sor.org/contact-us or https://www.bmus.org/contact-us/
