The SoR has issued a response to an international consulation on preventing accidental exposures in modern radiotherapy.
Maria Murray, professional officer, collated the information to inform the International Comission on Radiological Protection's latest guidelines.
She explained: "The SoR believes that the radiation regulations in the UK are fairly stringent with very good reporting and inspectorate arrangements but that there is, quite obviously, still no room for complacency. It is right that the ICRP draft report focuses on radiotherapy equipment due to the highly technical and ever more advancing equipment design and construction whilst stressing the ever continuing need for ongoing training and development."
