Statutory Instrument 478 of 2002, (Medical Ionising Radiation Protection) is concerned with the protection of the patient undergoing medical examination or treatment. Article 13.1 of the Instrument, relating to ‘Specialists’, states:
“The practical aspects for any medical radiological procedure or part thereof may be delegated by the practitioner to one or more individuals entitled to act in this respect in a recognised field of medical specialisation provided that individual has successfully completed such a course or courses in radiation safety as the Medical or Dental Councils may specify.”
This includes doctors who are physically or clinically directing an exposure.

ESMPE - Nuclear Medicine Dosimetry, Practical approach

Radiation Protection Course for NCHDs
2018-12-06 08:00 - 13:00 | Tallaght Hospital, Tallaght Hospital, Tallaght, Dublin 24, D24 NR0A, Ireland
Doctors who direct medical exposures (physically or clinically) have a statutory obligation under Statutory Instrument 478 of 2002 (Article 13.1) to attend a course in radiation safety recognised by the Medical Council. An approved training course has been organised by the Department of Medical Physics and Clinical Engineering, Tallaght University Hospital. Attendees who attend the complete programme will be given certificates of attendance. Names of doctors will be forwarded to the Medical Council.
This course provides essential background and training in Radiation Protection which would be useful to all staff involved in areas using Ionising Radiation, i.e. Staff in Theatre, Interventional Rooms and ICU/CCU. CPD points are pending from Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
The course will run from 8a.m – 12.40p.m on the 6th December 2018 in the Robert Graves Postgraduate room, Centre for Learning & Development, Tallaght University Hospital.
Participants will have to turn off bleeps/mobile phones for the duration of the course.
All Bookings via: TUH Learning Station (Hosted on HSELand) before the 30th November 2018
Fee for all external applicants is €80. Fee for Tallaght Hospital Doctors is €40. The course is free for Tallaght Hospital Allied Healthcare Professionals and Trinity Undergraduate Medical Students. Please make cheques payable to – St. James’s Hospital Foundation – Payments will be collected on the day.

MR scanning of patients with Pacemakers and ICDs - Study day
2018-11-15 09:00 - 13:00 | Catherine Mac Auley Centre, Nelson Street, Dublin 7, Nelson Street, Dublin 7, Dublin 7, Ireland
The aim of this event is to encourage hospital sites with a cardiology and radiology department in situ to carry out MRI scans on patients with MR conditional pacemakers and ICDs in situ.
The learning objectives of this event include:
To have a complete understanding of the policies and procedures required to safely scan patient’s with MR conditional devices in situ.
To be aware of the importance that the multidisciplinary team has to play in implementing these procedures successfully.
To comprehend the risks associated with scanning these patients, the potential adverse effects and to be able to identify the patients that are not suitable for an MRI scan.
To acknowledge and understand the requirements in the preparation and aftercare that the patients with MR conditional devise must undergo to ensure the safety of the patient.
To accept the importance of providing an MRI service to patients with MR conditional devices in order to enable the highest level of patient care possible.

Trends in Modern Fluoroscopy Technology: What the Physicist needs to know
2018-11-07 14:00 - 17:00 | St. James’s Hospital, Dublin, James's St N, Ushers, Dublin, D03 VX82, Dublin, Dublin 8, Ireland
This second event will take place on Wednesday 7th November 2018 from 2pm until 5pm in Seminar Room B&C, Mercer’s Institute for Successful Ageing (MISA), St. James’s Hospital. (http://misa.ie/about/directions/)
As part of the workshop, we will be holding a round table / audience participation session where IAPM members can briefly present a question related to Fluoroscopy Dosimetry or Quality Assurance testing and then lead a brief discussion on the issue. If anyone would like to participate and pose a question, please let me know.

International Day of Medical Physics
2018-11-07
To raise awareness of our profession, the International Organization for Medical Physics (IOMP) celebrate every year, on November 7, the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP). On that day in 1867, Marie Sklodowska-Curie, known for her pioneering research on radioactivity, was born in Poland.
