Multidisciplinary appeals to Government to start regulatory processes have been unsuccessful. In light of this BMUS has reviewed its position on statutory regulation of sonographers. BMUS remains resolute in its opinion that maintaining and developing a safe, sustainable workforce with equal opportunities is dependent upon regulation. Regulation helps to safeguard the patients, employer and, importantly, the employee in instances of, or allegations of suboptimal practice. BMUS will continue to fully support profession and workforce development whilst ardently advocating regulation of this essential allied health profession role.
