SubjectRadiography and Radiation Protection
DescriptionThis is Radiography and radiation protection - for non-radiography qualified members of the dental team.(NON DENTISTS) This course will provide an update in IRR17 and IR(ME)R18 for IRMER operators(ie DCPs) who are not qualified to take radiographs. This course will help learners understand the new regulations and changes : IRR17 replaced IRR99 from January 2018 replaced both the original IR(ME)R2000 and the amendments from 2006 and 2011 from February 2018.

Aims

The aim of this course is to provide continuing education and training in all aspects of dental radiography as part of life-log learning for operators who carry out all or part of the practical aspects associated with the radiographic examination.

1 To explain the principles of radiation physics and the risk of ionising radiation in dental radiography.

2 To consider radiation doses in dental radiography and factors affecting dose.

3 To consider the principles of radiation  protection.

4 To provide information on the requirements of quality assurance systems , medico-legal dental radiography, record keeping and audit.

Learning outcomes

1 Describe the fundamentals of radiation physics and the risk/benefits and biological effects of radiation, so as to demonstrate knowledge and hazard associated with exposure.

2 Summarise the factors affecting radiation doses received by patients and staff in dental radiography, 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, to be able to demonstrate theoretical ability regarding safe use of radiographs.

5 Recognise and describe key aspects of radiography quality assurance framework so as to implement effective strategies in own practice.
