INTRODUCTION
Ultrasound imaging has become an integral part of the management of many gynaecologicalconditions. This module will help to equip individuals with the knowledge and skills required touse ultrasound imaging within the clinical context. Once trained, a clinician should be able to:
1. Identify the pelvic organs and their orientation.
2. Establish their normality.
3. Correlate the findings with the presenting symptoms or endocrine status.
4. Establish a diagnosis and formulate a plan of action.
5. Effectively communicate the above information to the patient and colleagues.
Entry criteriaAs special skills training should follow the completion of core training, the following criteria mustbe met:
1 The trainee must have passed Part 2 MRCOG or hold an equivalent qualification.
2 The trainee must have satisfactorily completed the Core Logbook requirements.
3 The trainee must have obtained a satisfactory year three RITA.
Registration with the RCOG for special skills training can only be made when the above criteria aremet.
Specialist Registrars with fixed term training appointments (FTTA) who wish to register with theRCOG for special skills training should also fulfil the above criteria.
Training programme componentsThe following are essential components of the training programme, and all of them have to becompleted:
1. Training must be undertaken under the supervision of an identified preceptor for one year. Thepreceptor must be skilled in the use of ultrasound imaging in the management ofgynaecological conditions and will supervise at least one imaging session per week. Thepreceptor should undertake direct supervision of the trainee for the bulk of the module. Onoccasion, the trainee may undertake sessions under the supervision of professionals other thanthe preceptor (for example, bone studies or breast clinics). In these circumstances, it is thepreceptor’s duty to ensure that the professional to whom the duty of training is delegated issufficiently competent, willing and able to teach the trainee. Dual preceptorship is alsoacceptable. Under these circumstances, at least one of the preceptors should hold theMRCOG or FRCOG.
2. Trainees should obtain an application form for special skills training from the PostgraduateTraining Department of the RCOG and get it completed. The special skills training plans of thetrainee should be discussed at the year two RITA. During SpR year three, the trainee shouldobtain the chosen module and application forms from the RCOG Postgraduate TrainingDepartment, make contact with a preceptor in their chosen module, discuss rotations with the

ULTR
ASO
UN
D IM

ING
Deanery Specialist Training Committee (DSTC) and ensure that their application form iscompleted. At the Year Three RITA assessment, the trainee should ask the Chairman of theDSTC to sign the application form in support of the module and send a copy of the completedform to the RCOG.
3. Trainees should attend a theoretical course that should provide the essential knowledgecomponent of training for this module. It is expected that trainees will also supplement theirknowledge by reading standard textbooks and other literature. The theoretical course can beattended at any time after registration.
4. The practical component will involve attendance at clinics where patients are referred forultrasound imaging as part of the management of their gynaecological conditions (earlypregnancy clinics, gynaecological evaluation clinics, menstrual disorder clinics, pelvic massclinics etc.). Gynaecology outpatient clinics where ultrasound imaging is immediatelyavailable are also appropriate. The trainee must attend at least 30 such sessions andattendance must be documented in the appropriate section of the logbook. At least ten of thesesessions should be in a dedicated early pregnancy clinic.
5. Trainees should complete ten referenced case reports and a clinical audit on a subject relatedto the menopause. These should be completed to the preceptor’s satisfaction.
Training will be deemed to be complete when all the components have been completed to thesatisfaction of the preceptor. The Completion of Training Certificate should be signed by the trainee,preceptor and chairman of the DSTC and sent to the Postgraduate Training Department at theRCOG.
The logbookThis logbook defines the skills required to use ultrasound imaging in the management ofgynaecological conditions. The diagnoses are grouped pragmatically in order to prevent repetition.It is intended that the trainee will adopt a clinical rather than pathological or anatomical approachto the ultrasound examination. Moreover, trainees should develop a systematic method so that a fullpelvic assessment is undertaken.
Completion of the logbook will allow the preceptor and trainee to monitor progress and identifydeficiencies over the course of training. It is important to note that the logbook is a record ofcompetence rather than experience. The preceptor and trainee will review the progress of trainingevery two months. Competence will be documented by the preceptor signing the appropriatesections of the logbook. The levels of competence are:
Level 1 performed the exercise under direct supervision
Level 2 performed the exercise independently.
In addition to the recording of competence, the logbook also contains sections for the recording ofultrasound images and basic clinical details of patients seen by the trainee. The ultrasound imagesshould be of high quality and demonstrate aspects of the ultrasound scan which are pertinent to theclinical case, and should have been obtained by the trainee. The trainee should review suitableimages with the preceptor prior to attaching them to the logbook. This provides an opportunity forthe trainee and preceptor to discuss the management of the case summarised under the images.
It is imperative that all participants appreciate that the trainee’s progress has to meet standardsthat satisfy the preceptor. At the end of the training programme, the preceptor has to certify thatthe skills attained by the trainee are to his/her satisfaction.
