Radiation protection (radiation safety and diagnostic radiology physics)

We provide medical physics expert (MPE) support to hospital services and client organizations using X-ray and ultrasound equipment including radiology, theatres, osteoporosis unit, and breast, bowel and AAA screening programs. Our radiation protection adviser (RPA) and laser protection adviser (LPA) led services support clinical activity across the hospital with radiation safety advice where ionising and non-ionising radiation are used. We run a number of radiation safety related courses open to internal and external delegates.

We work to provide the best possible service for our patients and a safe working environment for staff at the Trust and at client sites, in accordance with UK legislation.​
