title: British society of echocardiography accreditation - the 'gold standard' for acute medicine.
abstract: We read with interest to the article written by Kevin Fox1 and wholly support the notion that acute medical trainees who wish to undertaken echocardiography within the medical admissions unit (MAU) should achieve British Society of Echocardiography (BSE) accreditation. I was one of the first trainees in acute medicine to undertake training in echocardiography; despite considerable competition from cardiology registrars as well as resistance from the physiology department I am now close to attaining the BSE Trans Thoracic Echocardiography accreditation.
