Description
To provide trained Sonographers who are able to complete Non-Obstetric, Obstetric and Anomaly Ultrasound scans using the BCU in-house scanners and in house Radiology Information system and PACs. This service is required to fill a shortage in roster cover by BCU staff. The provider and BCUHB will hold monthly meetings to agree the service level required, which will be agreed by both parties 2 months in advance. BCUHB will book the scan lists and will endeavour to provide a Radiology Clinical Support worker for each list. Where this is not possible, BCU will arrange for the provider to provide this support. The provider may also be requested to support with booking patients. There will be no minimum number of scans required to be issued by BCUHB for this service (which will be known as the regular service support)
