Right-touch assurance assessment for sonographers The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) has published a report considering the most appropriate form of assurance for the role of sonographer, based on an assessment to the risk of harm arising to patients from the practice.
The PSA have concluded that, as most sonographers are qualified nurses and radiographers and are therefore statutorily registered by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), statutory regulation for this profession is not currently recommended. Although, this could change if the number of people joining the profession through an undergraduate route significantly increases. NHS Employers
