| Description | This course will provide an update in IRR17 and IR(ME)R18. IR(ME)R operators should be aware that IRR99, and IR(ME)R 2000 and its 2006 and 2011 amendments have been updated, and this course will help learners understand the new regulations and changes: IRR17 replaced IRR99 from 01 January 2018 IR(MER)18 replaced both the original IR(ME)R 2000 and the amendments from 2006 and 2011 from 06 February 2018. This course is suitable for Dentists and DCP's that take Radiographs as well as those who do not but assist in taking and process Radiographs. | ||

| Aims | The aim of this course is to provide continuing education and training in all aspects of dental radiography as part of life-long learning for operators who carry out all or part of the practical aspects associated with a radiographic examination. | ||
| Objectives | 1. To explain the principles of radiation physics and the risks of ionising radiation in dental radiography. 2. To consider radiation doses in dental radiography and factors affecting dose. 3. To discuss the statutory responsibilities for IRMER practitioners and operators by examining current UK legislation and guidelines governing the use if ionising radiation in dentistry. 4. To consider the principles of radiation protection. 5. To provide information on the requirements of quality assurance systems, medico-legal dental radiography, record keeping and clinical audit. | ||
| Learning outcomes | 1. Describe the fundamentals of radiation physics, and the risk/benefits and biological effects of radiation, so as to demonstrate knowledge of hazard associated with exposure. 2. Summarise the factors affecting radiation doses received by patients and staff in dental radiology, and outline attendant quality assurance systems , so as to demonstrate theoretical ability to minimise risks and ensure the consistent quality of radiographs. 3. Outline general points of current UK legislation and guidance governing the use of ionising radiation in dentistry, so as to demonstrate awareness of statutory responsibilities. 4. Summarise the principles of radiation protection, so as to demonstrate theoretical ability regarding the safe use of radiographs in dental practice. 5. Recognise and describe key aspects of radiography quality assurance framework, so as to implement effective strategies in own practice. | ||
