Objective
Recent research shows that one in six imaging examinations performed world-wide is ultrasound-based. Over 50% of sonographic practitioners only use 20% of facilities available on ultrasound equipment appropriately. These factors underline the increasing importance of education and clinical training in the most cost efficient imaging modality currently available.
The main goal of the project is, firstly, to develop a postgraduate course in medical ultrasound by open distance learning methods which include both the delivery and assessment of education and clinical training to an internationally recognised level. Inherent within this goal is the development of a course which will provide access to continuing vocational training to healthcare professionals in an accessible form on a European-wide basis.
Impact
The model of course delivery developed by the project will provide a template for a European standard in the education, training and assessment of medical ultrasound and also in the identification of a European-wide standard of clinical competence. The development of a method of course delivery by effective distance learning will provide greater choice in terms of availability, time and cost for both individuals and hospital departments wishing to pursue an ultrasound training programme.
