Module aim

Radiation Safety, Patient Preparation and Imaging Governance prepares health workers in Uganda to explain radiation physics foundations and radiation protection principles, and builds from there to perform equipment checks and meet documentation, audit and regulatory requirements.

What you will be able to do

Explain core concepts, professional responsibilities and limits.
Use structured assessment and reliable practical tools.
Apply evidence-informed decisions with safety, ethics and escalation safeguards.
Adapt safely to realistic Ugandan resource constraints.
Communicate, document, reflect and improve performance.
