Dental Radiography and Radiation Protection


Dental staff in the UK are required by law to be "IRMER Trained". This law applies to everyone involved in taking and/or processing radiographs.

Staff registered with the UK General Dental Council are further recommended to undertake 5 hours of verifiable CPD in radiography / radiation protection during each 5-year CPD cycle.

It takes you through the necessary physics and biology, the legal aspects, justification, optimisation, quality assurance, and lots more. The CPD certificate states IRMER & IRR compliance.

This course provides training for the roles of Operator, Practitioner, Referrer, Legal Person, and Radiation Protection Advisor.
