HERCA launched a European communication campaign to promote the appropriate use of medical imaging. It stages a consultation situation between referrer and patient and sets out 7 key questions the referrer should ask when referring for an imaging examination. It highlights what is in the interest of the patient, along with some simple reflections and arguments that can be readily put forward during the consultation.
HERCA organised a workshop on how to inspect Justification and Optimisation in Nuclear Medicine on 6-8 Nov. 2018 in Stockholm, Sweden. This second workshop, was addressed to experienced inspectors from radiation competent authorities members of HERCA.
HERCA Board met on 2 and 3 November 2017 in Copenhagen, Denmark. This 20th meeting was kindly hosted by the Danish Health Authority (SIS).
In November 2016, national radiation protection authorities from 18 European countries conducted a special series of inspections in radiology departments and practices. Their aim was to assess the application of the justification principle. By monitoring existing practices, the European authorities identified routes for further improvements in patient radiation protection.
