Purpose of Post:

The National Maternity Strategy 2016-2026 states that all women must have access to standardised ultrasound services, to accurately date the pregnancy, to assess the foetus for ultrasound diagnosable anomalies as part of a planned Prenatal Foetal Diagnostic Service and for other indications if deemed necessary during the antenatal period. The strategy also states that the maternity units have the right number, mix and distribution of the skills, competencies and capabilities within the workforce. There must be sufficient staff available at the right time to deliver high quality care for women and their babies. Therefore this post is crucial to the development of this quality service.
