Introduction
Ultrasound constitutes the cornerstone of modern obstetric care. It is therefore essential that sonographers are properly trained and that high standards are maintained by continuing education and audit.
The Fetal Medicine Foundation has introduced a process of comprehensive training, support and audit for the proper implementation of many aspects of Fetal Medicine.
The appropriate certificate will be awarded to those sonographers who have:
- Attended a theoretical course and passed the examination
- Submitted a logbook of thermal images of relevant scans
- Attended a clinical session in the presence of an approved examiner and demonstrated their ability to carry out the relevant scans
The certification is open to all those involved in obstetric ultrasound, including obstetricians, radiologists, radiographers and midwives.
