IR(ME)R for chiropractic referrers (GB version)
Developed in association with the British Chiropractic Association (BCA). Suitable for chiropractors referring patients to a chiropractor for an X-ray examination in England, Scotland and Wales.
As a result of an examination of a patient, it may be necessary to refer them for a medical examination using ionising radiations in order to adequately diagnose them and identify the most appropriate treatment regime for them.
The Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 places various duties on individuals who are acting in the capacity of an employer, a referrer, an operator and a practitioner. Some individuals may be acting in the capacity of more than one role.
Formal training is not a legal requirement for referrers, though professional guidance has been published by an alliance of health professional organisations that advocates training for non-medical referrers.
This course aims to provide training to help meet the requirements specified in the professional guidance associated with referring patients under the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 (IR(ME)R).
If you are also acting in the capacity of an employer, an operator or a practitioner that exposes patients to ionising radiation then further training will be required to comply with the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 (IR(ME)R).
Every delegate will be given access to the course material for 6 months from the date of enrollment.
Most delegates take approximately 2 hours to complete this training course.
There is a short examination at the end of this course. Upon successful completion of this training, a digital credential (certificate) will be issued by email to the delegate for their records.
