The successful Sonographer will join an established diagnostic imaging service and work as an independent practitioner within a multidisciplinary clinical environment.
You will be expected to perform a broad range of ultrasound examinations, complete your own structured worksheets and provide preliminary findings to the reporting radiologist.
