The focus of our inspections is to ensure each service is implementing the Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) Regulations 2017 (IR(ME)R). Therefore, we only evaluate the service against quality indicators which align to the regulations.
What we look at
We want to find out how:
- organisations and individuals working within healthcare organisations implement the legal obligations to ensure that patients undergoing medical exposures to ionising radiation are appropriate and safe
- services are led, delivered and managed in relation to IR(ME)R
After our inspections, we publish a report on how well a service is performing against IR(ME)R in line with our domains and quality indicators.
