Privacy notice
How the CritCareUltrasound training portal handles your information.
What we hold
We hold the account details you provide at registration (name, email, job grade, hospital site), your training records (training cycles, scan logbook entries, competency sign-offs, triggered assessments and summary dates), session bookings and audit submissions. Ultrasound clips you upload are stored securely and linked to your own scans.
Why we hold it
This information is used solely to deliver and govern FUSIC training within the critical care unit — to track your progress towards accreditation, allow your mentors to review and sign off your work, and support departmental governance and audit. We do not sell or share your data for marketing.
Clinical images
Ultrasound images saved on the machine form part of the clinical record and carry the patient's details, as they must. Anonymisation applies when an image leaves the machine to be shared for training: clips uploaded here must have no patient-identifiable information in the image, the filename or the metadata. Patient references in the logbook are local identifiers only and cannot be traced back to a patient from this portal.
Closing your account
You can close your account yourself, in the app or on the web, from You → Close your account. Closing it signs you out everywhere, prevents any further sign-in, and deletes your email address, phone number, GMC number, saved signature and every push-notification registration. Your training record — scans, sign-offs, sessions and audits — is retained under your name as part of the unit's clinical governance file; ask the unit ultrasound lead what is held and for how long.
Your rights & contact
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information held about you. Contact the unit ultrasound lead or your local information governance team. This portal is operated by the CritCareUltrasound team.
