The Future of Radiological Protection

 

Welcome to the Archive of the Future of Radiological Protection Digital Workshop

ICRP is comprised of over 250 of the world’s leading radiation experts. We are the “keepers” of the System of Radiological Protection, but the System exists for those who use it to protect patients, workers, the public, and the environment. Collaboration with the people it impacts the most is essential.

Over the next decade, we will work together to develop the next general recommendations that will shape radiation-related policy, practice, guidelines, and regulations around the world.

The Keeping the ICRP Recommendations Fit For Purpose paper is a key step in that process. Through many conversations over the last couple of years and ICRP experience, this paper summarises the topics being considered for the future of RP.

This workshop created an opportunity to engage in the review and revision of the System of Radiological Protection, in particular based on two open-access papers recently published by ICRP:

 

 

The digital workshop took place 14 October to 3 November 2021. It included two Live Sessions per day, on 19-20 October 2021. In addition, 43 On-demand Presentations were available from 14 October 2021 until 3 November 2021, inclusive. It is summarised in the open-access paper below, and below you will find the recordings of all sessions, and on-demand presentations.
