Interesting Moments of the Work during Specialized Training of Staff Working with Ionizing Radiations

Abstract

Nowadays, ionizing radiation is increasingly used in our lives. This applies in particular to medicine. Devices with ionizing radiation are constantly being introduced in all areas of medicine, both for diagnosis and for treatment. The personnel working with this equipment must therefore have sufficient knowledge and skills and follow the respective rules and procedures associated with the radiation protection of the personnel themselves and the patients. To achieve all this, it is necessary to pay special attention to training of the personnel. Due to the constant introduction of new, modern equipment, it is necessary to periodically conduct the relevant training. The author of the article is responsible for conducting of such a specialized training, held in the Medical University Varna and at the same time trainer in some specific training courses. In this article we show interesting moments from running special courses to acquire the right to work with sources of ionizing radiation. This can be useful for other trainers who conduct such training. We share our experience in running these courses and believe that we can provide new ideas for more effective delivery of these special training courses.
