The Hong Kong College of Emergency Medicine endorses the following principles:

  1. Emergency ultrasound examination should be available twenty-four hours a day in Emergency Departments.
  2. Focused ultrasound imaging by Emergency Physicians will enhance quality of care to acutely ill or injured emergency patients.
  3. Emergency Physicians providing ultrasound services should have appropriate training and there should be a mechanism to maintain a satisfactory standard.
