WPSD 2023 Webinar - Engaging Patients for Medical Radiation Safety

 

The webinar series will cover radiation protection aspects for different topics, including 3 webinars on radiation protection in paediatric imaging, 2 webinars on interventional neuroradiology, as well as radiation protection of pregnant patients and pregnant staff. Each webinar will have a radiologist, a medical physicist and a radiographer as speakers. The first webinar will take place on 5 September 2023 at 18:00 (CEST) and the topic is ‘Introduction to Radiation Protection’. You can register to attend now on ESR Connect, via the following link - https://connect.myesr.org/course/introduction-to-radiation-protection/
