Advancing excellence in ultrasound
The 56th The 56th
BMUS Annual Scientific Meeting 2025 takes place 9-11 December 2025, at the Harrogate Convention Centre. CSJ provides an overview of some of the key highlights.
BMUS Annual Scientific Meeting 2025 in
Harrogate promises to be yet another landmark event for the UK ultrasound community, combining cutting-edge education, practical workshops, and a vibrant social programme. Across three days, delegates can expect a rich mix of plenary sessions, hands-on learning, and opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the country and beyond. Each year, the conference welcomes more than 600 delegates from across the profession — including Clinical Scientists, Educationalists, Midwives, PhD Students, Physicists, Physiotherapists, Radiographers, Radiologists, Sonographers, Trainee Sonographers, Vascular Scientists, and even Veterinarians. This diverse community reflects the truly multidisciplinary nature of modern ultrasound practice and creates an exceptional environment for collaboration, debate, and shared learning. Whether attendees are students taking their first steps in the field or seasoned clinicians leading innovation and research, the ASM offers something for everyone.
The programme: a comprehensive learning journey Under the stewardship of Dr. Jeannette Kraft, Chair of the 2025 Scientific Organising Committee, the ASM programme has been designed to cater to all practitioners. “We hope delegates will reconnect with friends, explore new ideas, and help guide the future of ultrasound excellence together,” she says.
Day 1: Opening: excellence in ultrasound The conference opens with the President’s Address by Dr. Peter Cantin, setting the tone for a meeting dedicated to guiding excellence and nurturing the next generation of sonographers. The General Medical Ultrasound stream explores liver, gallbladder, spleen imaging, elastography, and even ultrasound in space, while a Men’s Health session highlights prostate, scrotal, and pelvic imaging. Head & Neck sessions focus on advanced diagnostic techniques and case-based learning,
from lymph node mapping to salivary gland and oral cavity imaging. The Vascular stream covers aneurysm surveillance, varicose vein management, and AI applications in DVT diagnosis. Meanwhile, the Medico-Legal stream addresses imaging-related negligence and reporting impacts, and the Early Careers stream supports professional development, research, and wellbeing for emerging sonographers. Hands-on workshops in Interventional and Head & Neck ultrasound provide practical experience, and the day closes with the prestigious Donald MacVicar Brown Lecture, delivered by Dr. Paula Kinnane, an international speaker from the Australasian Sonographers Association.
Day 2: Multidisciplinary growth and innovation Plenary sessions in Hall D tackle antenatal ultrasound challenges, including cardiac screening, preterm birth prevention, and first-trimester care. Delegates gain practical insights into AI-enhanced Doppler modelling, fetal imaging, medico-legal considerations, and strategies for multidisciplinary collaboration. Parallel sessions explore professional identity,
workforce development, and efficiency, featuring the debate: Do Sonographers Suffer from a Lack
of Professional Identity?, while reflections from Past Presidents, and the Working Smarter, Not Harder stream highlight service innovations. Young Investigators and AXREM’s
Collaboration for Excellence spotlight emerging researchers and future leaders. The winner of the BMUS Young Investigator of 2025 award will gain the opportunity to represent the UK at EUROSON 2026 in Lublin, Poland, demonstrating BMUS’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of ultrasound leaders. Specialty streams cover: Paediatric, Breast,
and Therapy in Ultrasound, exploring contrast- enhanced techniques, novel therapeutic applications, and innovation in clinical practice. Hands-on workshops in quality assurance, endometriosis, and musculoskeletal ultrasound allow practical skill enhancement. Another Day 2 highlight is the Ultrasound Ideas initiative, a Dragon’s Den-style innovation pitch where shortlisted candidates compete for grants of up to £5,000 to develop new ultrasound research or clinical solutions. BMUS’s Development Officer, Dr. Ruth Reeve, notes, “This is a dynamic session that will showcase innovative projects advancing ultrasound practice and supporting BMUS grant objectives. Join us to see fresh ideas shaping the future of ultrasound research.”
