This short course provides a refresher for professionals who have previously undertaken relevant CPD in radiography and radiological protection. Dental staff in the UK are required by law to be "IRMER Trained", and update themselves regularly.
This law applies to everyone involved in taking and/or processing radiographs, not just GDC registrants.
This course provides training for the roles of Operator, Practitioner, Referrer, Legal Person, and Radiation Protection Advisor.
Member Feedback on Dental Radiography IRMER refresher
I liked the simple straightforward presentation, not too much technical detail and it was concise on what was needed for safe practice.
Very useful information thanks.
Very well done and thank you for creators of a short well designed concise course giving much new updated information and straight to the point. Delightful.
Made a subject that is usually perceived to be a little boring, interesting and to the point and relevant information only.
Module is very helpful and easy to follow.
Really good. Only ever done NES NHS courses before and they are rubbish in comparison.
Your Professional Development Plan: Regulatory authorities recommend that CPD/CE is undertaken based on learning needs that you have identified and entered into your PDP. Some authorities may not accept your CPD as verifiable unless it has been identified in the PDP before you undertake it.
Here is an example, using the GDC's recommended format, for a PDP entry for this course.
