Hey, hope this isn’t too confusing and not sure if anyone else has been in the same position as me....
I am hoping to apply for the 189 visa and possibly the 190 visa. I am a qualified Sonographer in the UK (qualified and started working in October 2016). Prior to this I was a diagnostic radiographer for 5 years.
I submitted my skills assessment to ASMIRT and passed the skills assessment as a diagnostic radiographer but failed the sonographer assessment as I am not trained in obstetrics or MSK.
When submitting my EOI I will obviously be using the diagnostic radiographer ANZSCO 251211 Code. My question however is when filling in previous employment for the 189 visa can I put down sonographer since October 2016 or will this hinder the application? Technically diagnostic radiographer and sonographer are related jobs as they are both under medical imaging and sonographer was a promotion from radiographer. Also under the HCPC I am still register as a radiographer as sonographer is not a protected job title. I will also soon be training in lithotripsy as well which uses both ultrasound and xrays so technically still working as a radiographer for that bit even though my main job title is sonographer. Thank you for reading this far.
