SubjectRadiography and radiation protection
DescriptionThis seminar is for any healthcare professional who is expected to refer patients for a medical exposure as part of their working practice and physically involved in the exposure of patients to ionising radiation (This is an update in the last hour so it is only for suitable qualified staff who use ionising radiation in a medical setting) All professionals who refer patients for medical exposures of ionising radiation need to make sure that they receive regular Radiation Protection updates under the current legislation. This course is for employees that need to adhere to the current Radiation protection Legislation (IRR 17 and IR(ME)R17) when referring a someone for a medical exposure who need a refresher on this area.
