Online Core CPD update in dental radiography & radiation protection

Stay confident that your practice’s radiography systems and day‑to‑day behaviours align with current expectations. This participatory, live online webinar gives the whole dental team a clear, practical update on IRR 2017 and IR(ME)R 2017—supporting safer working practices and robust compliance.

Why this course is worth your time

• Legislation made practical: Translate the requirements of IRR 2017 and IR(ME)R 2017 into what you need to do in the workplace.
• Protect patients and staff: Refresh the essentials of x‑ray production, risk reduction and the ALARP principle to help restrict exposure to you, colleagues and patients.
• Clarify roles and responsibilities: Understand the key duties of the employer, referrer, practitioner, operator, and the Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS)/Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA).
• Quality and governance focus: Revisit dose limits, controlled areas, incident investigation/notification, training, monitoring, optimisation and quality assurance (QA).
• Improve image quality: Identify common film and digital exposure faults and learn how to avoid them—helping you get better images first time.
