Diagnostic radiographers are urged to read new documents from the Clinical Imaging Board (CIB), which cover ionising radiation errors and near misses.
The set of ‘Learning from ionising radiation dose errors, adverse events and near misses in UK clinical imaging departments’ documents, include user guidance, the working party report to the CIB, a reporting template, and coding taxonomy.
The documents, “Help UK clinical imaging staff to minimise future potential ionising radiation exposures errors/near misses while enhancing ongoing patient safety.”
