Members of the public can now check whether the sonographer treating them is qualified through a new search available at sor.org.

The online search identifies all individuals listed on the UK Public Voluntary Register of Sonographers. Run by the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) in partnership with the UK Association of Sonographers, this register allows members of the public to confirm that the sonographer undertaking their examination or treatment is appropriately qualified.

The register is updated daily and those individuals who cannot demonstrate that they have maintained their competence to practise may be removed from the register.

If have any enquiries regarding this register or you want to apply to join the register, click here for further information and click here for an application form.

Alternatively you can contact the Professional and Education Department at SoR HQ on 020 7740 7200 or email approval@sor.org.
