The e-RADS e-learning resource addresses the regulatory requirements of the Ionising Radiations Regulations 1999, which requires that staff who are not closely involved with the work involving ionising radiations are provided with suitable information to avoid being unnecessarily exposed.

e-RADS is aimed at those staff that work in areas where patients are exposed to x-rays or treated with radioactive substances who would not normally receive any formal training to work with radiation e.g. ward and theatre staff. Staff who operate x-ray units should refer to the e-IRMER sessions.
