Benefits of using Dent RPA

Ionising Radiations Regulation 2017 (14) states that "every radiation employer shall consult such suitable radiation protection advisers as are necessary for the purpose of advising the radiation employer as to the observance of these Regulations". The Health and Safety Executive have recently published a report showing poor legal compliance by dentists and promised tougher enforcement action.

The Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 require the appointment of a Medical Physics Expert to advise on medical exposures. The MPE is required for tasks such as advice on patient dosimetry, development and use of new techniques, as well as other matters related to radiation protection concerning medical exposures.

Dent RPA provide comprehensive RPA and MPE services as well as a full radiation management system and online resources to ensure that its customers are in full compliance with IRR17 and IR(ME)R2017. We provide our customers with an annual audit facility to assess their degree of legal compliance and provide recommendations for remedial action and additional support where appropriate.

The Dentrpa.com website is constantly updated with new legislation, guidance, handbooks, quality assurance tests and procedures as they are introduced. All subscribers are informed automatically about relevant information that they affects them. Members have access to the most comprehensive range of resources available via our website. The site also has useful links to a wide range dental radiology resources.

Subscribers have access to the widest-available range of resources, tools and test via the dentrpa.com website. These include handbooks, local rules, audit tools, QA software, advice sheets, exposure chart software and a huge range of other useful and relevant information and resources. All resources and tools are designed to be practical and simple to use, making compliance with radiation protection legislation quick and efficient.

Our Radiation Protection Adviser services represent unbeatable value for money and offer a comprehensive service and resources at a lower price than any of our competitors for an equivalent service specification.

The three-yearly equipment quality assurance surveys are carried out by highly experienced technicians while our prices compare favourably to the postal pack methods used by some other providers. Our personal visits save the customer time and the difficulty of doing the testing themselves.

The web-based dentrpa.com system allows the customer’s radiation protection documentation such as local rules, IR(ME)R file, RPS Handbook and quality assurance records to be held securely online and reviewed remotely via any internet connection. This feature can be very useful where a single person manages several practices and allows the Radiation Protection Adviser to review and advise on the radiation protection programme, where requested.
