Training in neonatal cranial ultrasound: a questionnaire survey

P J C Davis, MRCPCH1, R M Cox, MRCP (Paeds), MA2 and J Brooks, MRCPCH, MA3

1 University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust, Clifford Bridge Road, Coventry CV2 2DX, 2 Department of Paediatric Oncology, Llandough Hospital, Penlan Road, Llandough, Vale of Glamorgan CF64 2XX and 3 Department of Neonatology, Birmingham Women's Hospital, Metchley Park Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham B15 2TG, UK

A questionnaire was sent to every paediatric specialist registrar in the West Midlands to assess the training of paediatric specialist registrars in neonatal cranial ultrasound. 26% had never carried out supervised scans. 51% lacked confidence in performance and 57% in interpretation of scans. The current pattern of training in neonatal cranial ultrasound lacks structure, supervision and assessment of competency.
