CASE
The Consortium for the Accreditation of Sonographic Education (CASE) is a collaboration of professional bodies and scientific societies established to set and uphold standards of training and education in clinical ultrasound (sonography) in the UK. This is achieved through accreditation of sonographic courses. CASE works closely with universities and other higher-education institutions to ensure the highest standards are met.
CASE is a not-for-profit organisation which relies on volunteers to commit their time to ensure the students who graduate from our accredited courses do so with the best in education, mentor support and clinical competency and thus preparing the sonographic workforce of the future.
The Member Organisations that make up the Consortium are:
- The British Medical Ultrasound Society
- The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy
- The College of Radiographers
- The College and Society for Vascular Science
- The Royal College of Podiatry
Further information on CASE can be seen on our website here.
In over 20 years of operation, the reputation of CASE accreditation as the accepted standard for sonographic education in the UK has grown and become accepted across the NHS and independent sector healthcare providers. In the busy and pressurised context of healthcare provision and diagnosis, CASE accreditation provides the reassurance that a sonographer has been trained to a high standard.
The group of member organisations that provide strategic oversight has operated as a relatively informal collaboration but is now looking to become a legally constituted company.
