Without Beehive Solutions a typically qualified sonographer can expect to earn £40,000-46000 pounds per annum.
On top of this would be 11% national insurance contributions plus enhancements for overtime, weekends and pension contributions.
There is also the need to cover annual leave and sickness which would require a locum sonographer or a reduction in the service level.
This would dramatically increase the actual costs of employing a sonographer and that is before actually finding a suitable candidate.
Beehive Solutions Premier Musculo-Skeletal Ultrasound Service can provide a service solution that is unique to the demands of the client, retaining as much or as little control as required. The service can run in tandem with your current service or indeed be an extra component covering evenings, weekends, and waiting list initiatives for as long as your require.
