This course provides the theoretical background and training necessary for managing and giving advice on the use of sealed and unsealed radioactive sources in hospitals. The three day-course covers all aspects of legislation and safe practice in the medical uses of radioactive substances. As well as lectures, there will be workshop sessions which will help
November 7th marks the anniversary of the birth of Marie Sklodowska Curie, Nobel Prize winner in Physics and in Chemistry. To celebrate her significant contribution to our understanding of radioactivity, the international community has marked November 7th as International Day of Medical Physics.

The course provides the necessary physics background that underpins day-to-day medical imaging physics activities. It is aimed primarily at new entrants to the profession, but should be of benefit to postgraduate students, postdoctoral research workers, physicist-managers, representatives of allied commercial organisations and anyone wishing to deepen or re-establish their understanding of the physics of medical
