Radiation Safety Awareness: Uses of ionising radiation in the medical sector course
Short course
This course is intended for employees (and contract staff) who work in the medical sector (NHS or private). The course covers specialist staff who work directly with ionising radiation, non-specialist staff working in departments where ionising radiation may be present, and other staff who may have contact with patients who have been administered with radioactive material (e.g. PET). This course covers all modalities include diagnostic x-ray, radiotherapy and nuclear medicine. IRMER is deliberately excluded as it is often delivered as part of other training within the medical sector. This course is aimed at the awareness level so not for those who need Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) training (we have a general online RPS course available). Price quoted is for a single delegate, significant discounts will be offered for block booking (contact Ionactive via the form).
