Education in Radiation Protection According to European Basic Safety Standards and Council Directive 59/2013 Euratom

Description

EU is a raw model of prosperity, education and security and therefore, one of the main goals of thenon-EU countries is to join this community and to harmonize their systems with the one in EU andthus, increasing overall safety and quality of life. The Council Directive 59/2013 EURATOM, islaying down Basic Safety Standards (BSS) for protection against the dangers arising fromexposure to ionising radiation, in relation to medical exposure imposes to Member States topromote the correct application of the justification and optimisation principles and requires theassessment and implementation of arrangements for the radiological protection of exposedworkers, the monitoring of workplaces and the individual monitoring of exposed workers. However,the transposition of the directive on health protection in relation to medical exposure remains to becompleted and further developed. The European BSS stress the importance of good radiationprotection in medical exposures with particular emphasis on staff competence based on adequateeducation and training. This aspect is still largely lacking at academic level.The purpose of this module is to introduce the training in radiation protection in medicine inacademic programs for radiology residents, to rise awareness of good practice in the EU,radiologist’ awareness about medical exposure to avoid non-necessary and inappropriaterepeated examinations, safe use of imaging technologists, public awareness about ionisingradiation exposure due to medical diagnostic procedures. These objectives will be reachedthrough education of the radiology residents as a part of the academic programs, preparation ofthe information materials for referring physicians and general population and creating a website.The module will increase overall awareness about integration process, demands that need to bemet and possibilities that are being offered.
