RADIATION PROTECTION SUPERVISOR TRAINING

Under lRR(17) it is a requirement that the Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS) receives appropriate training.

My Courses

My courses are aimed at the Veterinary RPS. Dental and Chiropractic courses are also available.

I hold one day courses via Zoom, usually held over two half days, (but can be done in one day). Zoom meetings are held at times and dates to suit the attendees. (A good broadband connection and webcam is required).
