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.

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.
