This course provides the theoretical background and training necessary for the radiological protection

The first 4-day module (Monday till Thursday) covers the following subject areas: radiation risks,
dosimetry, biological effects, instrumentation, legislation, transport, emergencies and safe practice in
the medical uses of ionising radiations.
The additional (optional) 1-day module on Friday covers non-ionising radiation protection. As well as
lectures there will be small informal workshop sessions covering a range of practical issues.
