An empirical study of obstetric sonographers identified substantial second victim distress and highlighted gaps in preparation, support and organisational response. This paper translates those findings into practical, evidence-informed interventions for clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An abductive, pragmatic intervention development approach was used, informed by empirical findings and relevant literature on second victim support, trauma-informed care and just culture. A structured mapping process linked identified gaps in knowledge, skills, policy and resources to proposed intervention components.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three complementary intervention models were developed. Model 1 proposes a supportive learning environment to better prepare sonographers for diagnostic error through education, peer support and structured learning opportunities. Model 2 presents an Ultrasound Manager Second Victim Support Tool to guide consistent and compassionate managerial responses. Model 3 outlines a phase-based early intervention guideline to support timely, trauma-informed responses following diagnostic error, including immediate, follow-up and ongoing support.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These models provide a practical framework to support sonographers and ultrasound managers following diagnostic error. By addressing identified gaps in preparation, managerial response and early support, they aim to promote well-being, learning and patient safety, and support the development of just, learning-orientated cultures. Future research should evaluate these interventions in clinical practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1742271x261489050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,3]],"date-time":"2026-10-03T06:36:16Z","timestamp":1791009376000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Supporting obstetric sonographers following diagnostic error: Evidence-informed interventions to promote well-being, learning and patient safety"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-3334-7103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elaine","family":"Gardiner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Glasgow Caledonian University, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6652-6994","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julie","family":"Roberts","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glasgow Caledonian University, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Evelyn","family":"McElhinney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glasgow Caledonian University, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2506-7944","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thelma","family":"Okey-Adibe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glasgow Caledonian University, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5397-4410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Morgyn","family":"Kay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Glasgow Caledonian University, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13144245"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","volume-title":"Annual report and accounts 2024\/25","author":"NHS Resolution","year":"2025","unstructured":"NHS Resolution.
