How my services support your compliance
I provide independent Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) and Medical Physics Expert (MPE) support to help practices meet their legal obligations under IRR17 and IR(ME)R. This includes advice on controlled area designation, shielding requirements, radiation risk assessments, and the development of practical Local Rules tailored to your working environment.
Support is available for industrial, veterinary, dental and medical organisations across the UK, covering both fixed and mobile X-ray equipment. I also carry out Critical Examinations, Acceptance Tests, dose rate surveys, and compliance audits to ensure equipment and procedures remain safe and compliant.
Where required, I can assist with documentation, staff guidance, and ongoing support following inspections, helping you maintain a consistent and compliant radiation protection framework.
For Dentists
Support for dental practices in meeting radiation protection requirements under IRR17 and IR(ME)R, including risk assessments, Local Rules, dose rate surveys and critical examinations. Services cover intra-oral, panoramic and CBCT systems.
For Vets
Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) and Radioactive Waste Adviser (RWA) support for veterinary practices, helping meet requirements under IRR17. Services include radiation risk assessments, Local Rules, controlled area designation and dose rate surveys for small animal, equine and mobile radiography.
For Medical and Chiropractic Clinics
Radiation Protection Adviser (RPA) and Medical Physics Expert (MPE) support for medical and chiropractic practices, helping meet IRR17 and IR(ME)R requirements. Services include risk assessments, Local Rules, patient dose optimisation and quality assurance for general radiography systems.
For Industry
RPA support for industrial radiography, non-destructive testing (NDT) and security screening applications, supporting compliance with IRR17. Services include radiation risk assessments, controlled area designation, Local Rules and contingency planning for fixed and mobile radiation sources.
Clear, practical support without unnecessary complexity
Radiation protection requirements can often feel unclear or overly complex, particularly when guidance is interpreted differently across sectors.
I provide straightforward, practical advice that focuses on what is actually required to achieve compliance under IRR17 and IR(ME)R, without overcomplicating processes or introducing unnecessary burden to your practice.
Whether you are setting up a new facility, reviewing existing arrangements or responding to regulatory requirements, advice is tailored to be proportionate, clear and workable in day-to-day practice.
Setting up a compliant X-ray facility
When installing or relocating X-ray equipment, it is essential to ensure the facility is designed to meet IRR17 requirements. This includes appropriate shielding, controlled area designation and safe operator positioning.
I provide practical advice during planning and installation stages, helping ensure that radiation protection measures are proportionate, effective and suitable for the specific equipment and workload, including mobile and equine radiography where standard room layouts may not apply.
Ongoing radiation safety and compliance
Radiation protection is not a one-off requirement. Employers must ensure that risk assessments remain suitable and sufficient, equipment continues to operate safely, and Local Rules are followed in practice.
Ongoing support includes periodic reviews, dose rate surveys, and advice following changes to equipment, workload or premises, helping ensure continued compliance with IRR17 and IR(ME)R without unnecessary complexity.
Mobile and non-standard radiography
Mobile and non-standard radiography presents additional challenges, particularly in veterinary and industrial environments. Unlike fixed installations, radiation protection relies heavily on distance, positioning and operator awareness.
Advice is provided on safe working distances, temporary controlled areas and practical Local Rules to support safe use in field, equine and non-destructive testing (NDT) applications.
