Why this role exists

Scanning is where a lot of women's health finally becomes visible: fibroids, adenomyosis, endometriomas, polycystic morphology. Rushed lists produce reports that answer the referral question and miss everything else. Longer slots find more.

Who you would be looking after

Women with pelvic pain, heavy or irregular bleeding, suspected endometriosis or PCOS, fertility investigation, and early pregnancy concern.

• Report independently to an agreed standard

• HCPC registration and a PgD or equivalent in medical ultrasound
• Gynaecological and early pregnancy scanning competence
• Ability to deliver difficult findings with care
• Enhanced DBS

What you get

• Thirty minute slots as standard
• Modern equipment and no legacy backlog list

What this pays, and why

Sonographer shortages have pushed NHS Band 7 posts (£46,148 to £52,809) to routinely advertise with recruitment premia, and agency rates run £45 to £60 an hour. Our band reflects genuine market scarcity rather than the Agenda for Change grid.
