The EFRS are pleased to confirm that we are progressing our relationship at the European level with HERCA, the Heads of the European Radiological Protection Competent Authorities.

 

We will be establishing a schedule for formal meetings with HERCA and their Medical Applications Group and working with them on developing documents and on activities of interest to both the EFRS and HERCA. Through this relationship, we hope to work with HERCA, and their members, to highlight the roles and responsibilities of radiographers in radiation protection.

 

We would like to bring to your attention the three HERCA publications below.

 

 

 

HERCA Position Paper: The process of CT dose optimisation through education and training and role of CT Manufacturers (2014)

 

Addendum to HERCA CT Position paper: The process of CT dose optimisation through education and training and the role of the manufacturers (2015). This addendum includes input from the EFRS.
