End of week summary

During this week we have:

• Begun to explore the regulations relevant to work with dental X-ray equipment, IRR17 and IRMER17.

• Looked at key appointments within a practice to monitor compliance with the regulations.

• Reviewed a scenario and created a plan based on the guidelines.

• Discussed how the regulations would still apply when someone outwith your practice has to operate or carry out maintenance on the X-ray equipment.

Next week you will cover the protective measures put in place to minimise radiation exposure for both patients and dental practice staff as well as taking a more in depth look into the X-ray equipment.

Be sure to reflect on your learning this week and think how this might be applicable to your practice.

In the comments, share your thoughts on this week.
