BMus

BMUS, or the British Medical Ultrasound Society, is a professional association in the United Kingdom that represents clinicians, sonographers, radiographers, physicists, and researchers who use ultrasound in medical practice. It serves as a national body for ultrasound professionals across the NHS and private sectors.

The society provides guidance on best practices, safety, and quality assurance; develops standards and training frameworks; and supports professional development through educational activities, resources, and networking opportunities. It aims to promote high-quality patient care through accurate and safe ultrasound use.

BMUS conducts education programs, including courses, seminars, and an annual congress, as well as regional meetings and audits. These activities offer continuing professional development, keep members informed about new technologies and techniques, and encourage collaborations across specialties and institutions.

Membership includes clinical practitioners, trainees, and allied professionals working with ultrasound. The organization maintains regional groups and committees that reflect diverse practice areas, such as obstetric, abdominal, musculoskeletal, and vascular ultrasound, among others.

BMUS publishes guidelines, position statements, and resource documents to inform ultrasound practice. It also maintains information on standards, safety, and service delivery, and collaborates with national and international bodies to advance the field of medical ultrasound.
