  • Alison discussed sonographer apprenticeship training. LTHT and MYHT have received funding, and Sheffield Hallam are able to provide the training. The aim is to train to become a sonographer at band 5 level.
  • Peer review audit in Trusts was discussed, and it was established that the audit was not consistent across the collaborative with each Trust having a different process. Alison agreed to lead the work into creating minimum requirements for peer review and CPD.
  • It was agreed that collaborative reporting was not relevant for Obs & Gynae and that other priorities should be focussed on, but would require attendance from all Trusts to be able to agree.
