AvailabilityCourse has taken place
SubjectRadiology
DescriptionThis session will commence with a brief reminder of x-ray production, the key principles of radiation protection and the biological effects of radiation. This will lead into a review of the key elements of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 2017 (IRR17) and the Ionising Radiations (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 (IR(ME)R 2017) as they apply to dental radiography and the roles and the responsibilities of the dental team. Depending on the status of the new ‘Guidance Notes for Dental Radiography’ (publication anticipated December 2019 / January 2020) these will be discussed as much as is possible during the session (the speaker already has an awareness of some of the anticipated changes)
