Ultrasound Training
Ultrasound Training for Obstetric & Gynaecology Trainees in the Severn Deanery
The RCOG have developed new ultrasound modules which need to be delivered at Deanery level. Detailed information is available on the
RCOG website
.
It is important that all trainees are aware of these modules especially for trainees in ST1-3 in August 2008. A summary is given below:
Basic Modules
These need to be completed by the end of ST5 for all trainees commencing ST1-ST3 August 2008. (recommended but not mandatory for all trainees ST4 and above in August 2008)
Early Pregnancy (8-12 weeks) – trainees need to be able to identify a viable intrauterine pregnancy – they are not expected to diagnose a non viable pregnancy or undertake a TVS. It is envisaged that this training would take place in the dating scan clinic.
Assessment of fetal size, liquor and placenta – trainees need to undertake full biometry including HC (BPD), AC and FL, perform assessment of liquor volume and assess placental site transabdominally. How and where this training should be provided is under discussion nationally and locally. Trainees should take advantage of opportunities on Delivery Suite, the Assessment Unit or Antenatal clinic depending on local availability.
Intermediate Modules
These are undertaken selectively by trainees. They are mandatory for trainees in ST4-5 who wish to undertake certain ATSMs in ST6-7 (fetal medicine, acute gynaecology and early pregnancy)
Normal Fetal Anatomy – trainees will need to undertake a full anomaly scan.
Ultrasound in Gynaecology – trainees will need access to gynaecology scanning to assess normal female pelvis, fibroids, endometrial abnormalities, pelvic pain, ovarian lesions.
Early pregnancy Complications – trainees will need to be able to perform all scans required in an early pregnancy unit including viability, early pregnancy demise and suspected ectopic pregnancy.
