Description
Ionising radiation plays a critical role in various clinical applications, both diagnostic and therapeutic. It can be administered externally through techniques such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, mammography, and contrast agents, or internally using radiopharmaceuticals for nuclear imaging. Understanding the technical and safety aspects of ionising radiation is essential for healthcare professionals to ensure patient safety and effective treatment outcomes.
The e-IRMER course is an interactive online training resource designed to support the training of NHS healthcare professionals in compliance with the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposures) Regulations 2000 (amended 2006) (IR(ME)R). This course, delivered in partnership by the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM) and e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH), covers a comprehensive range of topics:
- Interpretation of the IR(ME)R regulations
- Basic physics principles associated with ionising radiation
- Risks and radio-biological effects of ionising radiation exposure
- Production of X-rays and nuclear emissions
- Diagnostic imaging and therapeutic treatment applications
- Practical methods to minimise patient exposure to ionising radiation
- Defined roles and responsibilities of duty holders in radiological procedures
The e-IRMER course offers easy access to educational content and includes both formative and summative assessments. These assessments help learners develop the necessary competence and demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements, ensuring safe and effective use of ionising radiation in medical settings.
Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive an e-IRMER course completion certificate, validating their knowledge and compliance with regulatory standards. This certification is crucial for healthcare professionals involved in the use of ionising radiation, as it enhances their qualifications and ensures they can provide the highest standard of patient care.
