Update for Basic Ultrasound Modules (Module 1 & 2) RCOG, June Basic early pregnancy ultrasound (8-12 weeks) & Basic ultrasound assessment for fetal size, liquor and placenta Completion of the basic modules is a very important achievement and can act as a stepping stone for further supervised training. Completion does not imply that a trainee is automatically ready for independent practice in diagnostic ultrasound (particularly in out of hours unsupervised assessment in early pregnancy). Assessment before 8 weeks gestation and use of transvaginal ultrasound is not covered within the present basic modules Care should be taken in delegating decisions about clinical management to trainees who have completed only the basic modules (particularly where management relies on the ultrasound findings). The expected utilization of ultrasound skills should be determined and agreed at all times by the local ultrasound supervisor in the context of local protocols for ultrasound scanning.
