Abstract
There is increasing clinical adoption of focused point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) in community and hospital health care settings. The technology has many potential applications, including enhancing standard clinical assessment and shared decision making. However, governance, administration, infrastructure, quality control, education and research surrounding POCUS are lagging behind with the rapid emergence of this promising field of clinical imaging.
