Abstract: | By February 2018 each Member State is required to transpose Council Directive 2013/59/EURATOM into national legislation, so as to lay down updated safety standards for the protection against dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation. Professionals contributing to medical radiation exposures, particularly those recognised as referrers or practitioners will have several key responsibilities to fulfil, such as committing their involvement in the justification and/ or optimisation processes of each individual exposure. Additionally referrers and/or practitioners will have the responsibility to provide each patient with adequate information relating to the benefits and risks associated with the radiation dose to be received.
