Taught byDr. Madhusudan VyasPrincipal Lead Nuclear Medicine Scientist
Radiation protection is everyone's responsibility. Is your knowledge current?
Regulation, governance and dose management sit behind every nuclear medicine exposure. This course brings them together in one structured day.
Before this course
- Unsure exactly how IR(ME)R 2017 and IRR17 apply to your day-to-day role
- Duty-holder roles and responsibilities feel blurred across the team
- DRLs, dose optimisation and incident learning handled case by case
- Audits, local procedures and waste management lack a clear framework
After this course
- Clear on the legal and regulatory framework and where you fit within it
- Confident applying justification, authorisation and optimisation
- A structured approach to DRLs, dose optimisation and learning from events
- Ready to write, review and audit local procedures with confidence
