Who are Ultrasound Direct Sonographers?

Ultrasound Direct sonographers looking to further their sonography career may be closer than you think: they may be the same friends, colleagues and professionals you already work with.

Within the small profession of Sonography and with over 200 Sonographers already working for Ultrasound Direct across the UK you will probably already know someone in our team. 

We are proud to be a Sonographer led company and we work closely with Ultrasound professional bodies to not only maintain professional standards but to raise the bar in independent practice. 

Ultrasound Direct Sonographers do not become deskilled or lose their professional integrity because they work independently. In fact, with access to the Ultrasound School, there are opportunities to support your ongoing professional development and participate in CPD courses with us.

Flexible sonographer jobs for the independent ultrasound industry

Ultrasound Direct can offer complete flexibility to suit your career or family commitments. If you are appropriately qualified, enjoy working independently and have just a few hours a week to spare: contact us and see what we can offer you.

Working through recruitment agencies may offer some flexibility but without the guarantee of continuity. With Ultrasound Direct, you can work the hours to suit you, so you know exactly what you are doing weeks and months ahead.

Julie-Ann Slagter - Sonographer

Julie-Ann Slagter

Sonographer
I have worked as a Sonographer for Ultrasound Direct in Belfast since 2012. I love being part of a clinic that provides high quality imaging yet at the same time a scan experience tailored to meet each individuals’ needs.

We are based on the prestigious Lisburn Road in Belfast and offer medical imaging excellence within a relaxed environment. Our unique approach is well received by our clients, many of whom choose us again and recommend our clinic to their family and friends.

I am personally involved in performing all aspects of Obstetric scanning including 4D, well woman and well man scans and I have a particular interest and active role in our gynaecological imaging including the fertility investigations. We take pride in the fact that all of our clients are valued and treated with both dignity and sensitivity.

At Belfast we are expanding and there are very exciting times ahead including the arrival of our HD machine this year. We will continue to strive to ensure High Quality Imaging Standards whilst maintaining an enjoyable and personal experience for each of our clients.

Sonographer
I worked for Ultrasound Direct alongside an NHS role at first and always really enjoyed obstetrics and 4D imaging - so much so that I joined the company in a permanent capacity as the National Ultrasound Manager.

Joining Ultrasound Direct in a managerial role was a rewarding chance to progress in my career as well an opportunity to become further involved in the development of other sonographers and promote better practice. At the same time, I could still be involved at a clinic level in providing a wide range of men’s and women’s health scans, and pregnancy scans which is very rewarding personally and an honour to be involved in some special moments in our customers’ lives.

Gillian Clayton

Sonographer
I graduated with a PgD in Medical Ultrasound 11 years ago and have worked for Ultrasound Direct in Newcastle since 2010 alongside my NHS job.

I am involved in all aspects of scanning but I particularly enjoy obstetric ultrasound and feel privileged to be a part of our clients pregnancy journey.

Working with clients at Ultrasound Direct is very rewarding with many of them choosing to return to us and recommending our services to friends and family. We have had exciting times in the North East region recently with the expansion of our clinics and the introduction of HD Live technology in these locations.

Ultrasound Direct continues to think ahead and I look forward to being involved in future developments in fertility investigations and men's health scans. We provide professional high quality imaging supported by a strong team which I am proud to be a part of here in the North East.
