About the Course

The Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2000 (IRMER) state that "no practitioner or operator shall carry out a medical exposure or any practical aspect without having been adequately trained" (Regulation 11). Regulation 12 defines adequate training as that training which satisfies the syllabus set out in Schedule 2 of IRMER.

This one-day course is designed to meet the theoretical training requirements of Schedule 2, but cannot provide the practical experience that Schedule 2 also refers to. A certificate of theoretical training is provided.

The course is designed for clinical staff who have been identified by their employer as a practitioner (those who justify exposures) and/or operator (those who carry out any practical aspects). The course is specifically for those who are involved in diagnostic X-ray exposures such as cardiologists, endoscopists, anaesthetists and surgeons.

This course is not designed for nurses or other extended-scope health professionals. A more suitable course for these types is RPC's half day course on Radiation Safety Training for non-medically Qualified Referrers.
