Nuclear Medicine: Practical Radiation Protection of Staff
Royal College of Radiologists
Course Information
You’ve Got Why should I take this course?, We’ve Got the Answers!
Radiation protection of staff from nuclear medicine procedures extends beyond the clinical imaging department. Radiopharmaceuticals are continually emitting ionising radiation and staff may be exposed before, during and after patient administration. This micro skills course from the Royal College of Radiologists explores the external, internal and contamination radiation hazards associated with radionuclides commonly found in nuclear medicine and gives practical ways to reduce staff exposure in keeping with the 'as low as reasonably practicable' (ALARP) principle.
Are the programs accredited for continuous professional development (CPD) or continuing medical education (CME)?
Our courses have been developed and are delivered by Talisium's global network of content providers including universities and various professional bodies whose work underpins CPD for healthcare professionals.
Certificates of completion will be available and can be downloaded once a course has been completed. These can be used as evidence of learning for training and CPD purposes. You will need to check with your governing body about CPD standards and requirements.
Unless otherwise stated, certificates issued through Talisium are not qualifications of any formal assessment.
Do I need any prior qualifications or experience?
Our courses and programs have been designed to meet the needs of a broad range of trainees and qualified healthcare professionals. For most courses, we do not ask that you hold certain qualifications or meet certain criteria.
Some courses are aligned to specialist medical curricula so there is a certain level of medical knowledge required in these cases. On the whole, however, the courses and programs are accessible to a broad audience of learners.
