Course summary

The Clinical Ultrasound provides a contemporary research-enhanced curriculum with a minimum of 800 hours of professional practice experience and an accelerated route into the profession. It is an ideal study pathway for trainee sonographers and existing Healthcare Professionals wishing to achieve excellence in all aspects of clinical ultrasound practice. The programme has a strong emphasis on the development of professional skills for effective communication, evidence-based practice, and leadership in healthcare, alongside promoting a systematic understanding of the core principles underpinning ultrasound practice to guide image optimisation and clinical reasoning. Entry at PG Cert level is suitable for healthcare professionals learning ultrasound for the first time. This 1-year part-time PG Cert focuses on understanding the science and technology underpinning ultrasound examinations and supports students in gaining clinical proficiency in General Medical Ultrasound, Obstetrics and Gynaecology Ultrasound, or Specialist Ultrasound Practice (e.g. Point-of-Care, Gynaecology, Musculoskeletal, or Vascular Ultrasound). On completion of the PG Cert, graduates will be able to practice ultrasound independently (although a 3-month preceptorship period is recommended). Entry at PG Dip level is aimed at existing PG Cert-qualified ultrasound practitioners who wish to extend their clinical and professional training through a second year of part-time study. The PG Dip year emphasises the importance of improving the delivery of ultrasound services through education, leadership, and research. The 1-year part-time MSc dissertation is aimed at existing PG Dip qualified ultrasound practitioners. Academic support is provided for completing a Clinical Ultrasound research project to publication standard.
