Radiation Protection

Understanding radiation protection - including educational resources, practical application, compliance assurance and FAQs

Free Radiation Protection Resources

SoR has developed a series of recordings that can be used by undergraduates, radiographers moving to the UK from overseas, or simply to refresh your existing radiation protection knowledge. They cover the fundamental knowledge and skills to enable learners to meet the requirements of the HCPC and IR(ME)R regulations and to support your professional lifelong learning from undergraduate level, assisting you to write high quality student assignments or papers for publication. 

Please take a look at our radiation protection webinar series, free to SoR members. To see radiation protection content only please apply the filter 'radiation protection'.

We also have a page of frequently asked questions relating to common radiation protection matters.
