The SoR is calling on all managers for help with its ongoing campaign to protect in law the title 'sonographer'.
The Society has been addressing the need for sonographers to be regulated for some time. In January 2008 it submitted an application to the HPC asking that the title becomes regulated.
The HPC has agreed to consider the request and asked the Society to give a detailed presentation and to submit additional evidence. The SoR is asking members to help provide the information for this.
Professor Audrey Paterson, SoR director of professional policy, said: "Figures for sonographers who are currently ineligible for registration with one of the statutory regulators and are employed and practising as sonographers in the UK are very difficult to estimate.
"The SCoR has a number in its membership, and the United Kingdom Association of Sonographers has others, but we’d like to be able to draw a more accurate picture for the HPC in July."
