Welcome to week 3 of the Radiation Protection in Dental Practice course.

In weeks 1 and 2 you have covered basic radiation concepts and the planning required before work with X-ray equipment commences, as well as introducing the legislation in place for work with ionising radiation.

Week 3 will focus on the protection measures for patients and staff to optimise exposure to X-radiation and the working procedures to support these measures. The protective features of X-ray equipment will also be reviewed in more detail.

Please continue to contribute to discussions and share your experiences in the comments.
