Full & Part-time hours considered
We are looking for a highly motivated midwife/obstetric sonographer to join our team at the obstetric ultrasound department / fetal medicine unit at Raigmore Hospital, Inverness.
Raigmore Hospital provides midwifery, obstetric, and neonatal care to pregnant women and their families living in the Scottish Highlands. It covers a wide rural area of 12,500 square miles and has approximately 1,800 births a year.
Our team of 5 midwife sonographers generate about 11,000 scans per year. We are an independent and progressive team with a high degree of sonographer autonomy. We care about a quality assured service, participate in peer review and audit to maintain high professional standards. For the past 6 months, we have consistently been in the top ten units in the UK for detection of small for gestational age fetuses.
The sonographers are fully supported by our lead midwife sonographer. We perform all obstetric examinations, including RCOG guidance on MCA PI and UAPI screening for small for gestational age babies. Our main workload includes EPAU, fetal medicine, maternal medicine, twins, and specialist ANC’s, including screening pathway scans and general obstetric growth scans, using Perinatal Institute’s GROPW package as part of the Saving Babies’ Lives care bundle v3.
In the Obstetric Ultrasound Department, we have a range of high-spec ultrasound equipment.
You will be a qualified midwife or have a relevant degree-level qualification leading to a PGC in obstetric ultrasound. You will need to provide evidence of your performance in the quality assurance of first trimester screening, such as a DQASS plot or equivalent, and peer review tools used to assess image quality.
You must be up to date in your practice, willing to undertake audit, teaching, and mentorship when required. The post holder will be expected to work independently and produce diagnostic reports that provide the clinician with accurate clinical findings.
