About the role
This interview examines how you obtain and interpret diagnostic ultrasound images across changing clinical conditions. The panel wants systematic technique, honest handling of uncertainty, respectful consent and timely communication of urgent findings.
How to prepare
- Review probe selection, optimisation controls and systematic survey methods for your main examination types.
- Practise explaining how you work around poor acoustic windows without overstating the result.
- Prepare examples of urgent findings, escalation and clear report wording.
- Review consent, dignity and chaperone practice for intimate examinations.
- Check the official licensing body for current registration and practising requirements.
Common mistakes
- Calling an examination normal when technical limitations prevent a complete assessment.
- Giving the patient a definitive diagnosis outside the agreed reporting pathway.
- Forgetting consent, infection control or documentation while focusing on the images.
