Advanced Practitioner Sonographer
Join to apply for the Advanced Practitioner Sonographer role at Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.
In this important role you will make a difference by working as part of a highly skilled and motivated team providing a high-quality ultrasound service at the Royal United Hospital and at our community hospitals as required.
We are looking for a self‑motivated, enthusiastic Sonographer with proven ability to work autonomously. As an experienced and competent practitioner you will understand the need for a caring and compassionate approach along with attention to detail, play a key role in the delivery of the ultrasound service, and be able to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to service development and CPD.
Responsibilities include undertaking all types of obstetric, gynaecology and general ultrasound examinations and providing independent reports – early pregnancy assessment and TVS. For the right candidate, and dependent upon service needs, the Trust will consider expanding the role to include the fields of HyCoSy, Paediatric Hips and MSK. You will assess and report on your own specialised workload.
We have a total of 9 rooms at the RUH and the service is delivered across an additional 3 community sites, so having a valid UK driver's licence would be advantageous. All rooms are equipped with high quality (Canon, Samsung & GE) machines, dual monitors & PACS.
To be considered for this role (in addition to experience within an ultrasound department), you must have a Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education (CASE) accredited Post Graduate Certificate in Obstetric ultrasound or Post Graduate Diploma which includes Obstetrics, Gynaecology & General Medical examinations. You can complete a statement of comparability using the UK ENIK tool.
Appropriate qualifications include DMU/PgCert/PgDip or equivalent, with experience of working within an ultrasound department. Trainees nearing the end of their Ultrasound training will be considered.
Contact: Pam Norbury, Team Leader, 01225 824379 or pamelanorbury@nhs.net for further details or informal visits.
We put people at the heart of what we do. We are committed to creating a compassionate and inclusive environment, learning, development and innovation. We value staff wellbeing and support career progression.
