Recruiting international sonographers and those without a CASE accredited award

If more sonographers without a CASE accredited award are to be employed and successfully integrated into the UK ultrasound workforce, there needs to be a better understanding of the current recruitment process and the level of support for the successful candidate, and a better understanding of what knowledge and skills they possess.

The document outlines findings of research which explored the following four aims:

• To investigate current recruitment methods that work well
• To investigate if additional help is needed by managers to aid future recruitment
• To investigate managers’ perspectives on how well those without CASE accredited awards integrate into the ultrasound department
• To identify what additional help, if any, these recruits might need for a smoother transition
