Guidance on the personal monitoring requirements for personnel working in healthcare /

Arrangements for personal monitoring have evolved as dose limits and practices using radiation have developed. Therefore, new approaches involving more personal dosimetry are required, and methods are needed that can be used to predict probable dose levels so that risk assessments can be prepared to...

520 3 |a Arrangements for personal monitoring have evolved as dose limits and practices using radiation have developed. Therefore, new approaches involving more personal dosimetry are required, and methods are needed that can be used to predict probable dose levels so that risk assessments can be prepared to determine the level of dose monitoring for individual staff members. The authors set out recommendations designed to help radiation protection practitioners and healthcare workers assess exposure levels for personnel and determine monitoring requirements based on established rules. This book is essential reading for medical physicists in radiation protection, diagnostic radiology and nuclear medicine, as well as radiographers and technologists due to changes in global dosimetry requirements. Additionally, it presents guidelines for medical physicists and others using radiation. Part of IPEM-IOP Series in Physics and Engineering in Medicine and Biology.

545 |a Colin Martin. Colin is an honorary senior clinical lecturer for the University of Glasgow and has carried out research in many aspects of radiation protection and radiation dosimetry. He has been a certified RPA since 1990 and has been an RPA2000 Assessor since 2000. He is Vice-Chair of ICRP Committee 3, and a member of several ICRP Task groups, IAEA committees, and UK working parties and is a member of Editorial Boards for the Journal of Radiological Protection and Radiation Protection Dosimetry. David Temperton was Head of RRPPS (University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust) from 1994 until his retirement in 2017. He was a consultant clinical scientist and Medical Physics Expert. He acted as Head of the RRPPS's approved dosimetry service (ADS) which was the largest such service in the NHS. He was a certificated Radiation Protection Adviser since 1993 giving advice to clients in the healthcare, industrial and academic sectors. He was an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Birmingham. Anthony Hughes studied Medical Physics at the University of Aberdeen, obtaining a PhD in 1990. For the next 13 years he worked as a clinical scientist in radiotherapy at Clatterbridge Hospital and nuclear medicine at the Royal Liverpool Hospital. For the past 16 years he has been part of the regional physics service operated by Christie Medical Physics & Engineering, based at the Royal Preston Hospital. He has been an RPA since 2007 and an RWA since 2011, specialising in nuclear medicine and PET. Thomas Jupp achieved his MSc in Medical Physics in 2008. He completed Clinical Scientist training while working in the Medical Physics departments in the Royal United Hospital Foundation Trust in Bath and in Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, being awarded the Association of Clinical Scientists Certificate of Attainment in 2011. He has since worked in the Radiation Protection Department at the Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as a Medical Physics Expert and obtained Radiation Protection Adviser certification in 2018.
