Ultrasound Quality Assurance Workshop 2026

The objective of the day is to give those who are new to ultrasound Quality Assurance (QA) the confidence to understand and carry out the basic, essential elements of ultrasound scanner and probe QA, in line with IPEM guidance and current best practice. 

 

The day will be split into two parts; the morning will include guidance around the current IPEM guidance (namely IPEM Report 102), regulations and legislation relating to Ultrasound QA, including screening programmes. 

The programme will include talks around QA testing (acceptance, routine and ad hoc). Plus knowledge exchange on troubleshooting and common faults and artefacts. Including e-learning material on Equipment Management Lifecycle.

We are also delighted to be joined by Donna Holdcroft, Professional Officer at BMUS to provide a sonographer’s perspective.

The afternoon will include demonstrations and practical hands-on experience in testing multiple image modes on a variety of ultrasound scanners which are kindly provided and supported by several manufacturers. 

NB - a basic level of ultrasound is required.
