Protect the title of Sonographer.

Closed 1,720 signatures

What the petition asks

Protect the title of "Sonographer" so that only professionals registered with the HCPC can call themself a sonographer.
Currently, anyone can call themself a sonographer because the title is not protected. Sonography is a sub specialty of radiography. Radiographers have their title protected, however, those that choose sonography in their career path do not have the protection of their title. We would like for all sonographers registered with the HCPC to have their title protected and stop anyone who is not a sonographer from using the title.
