Northern Medical Physics & Clinical Engineering (NMPCE) is a clinical directorate of The Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (NUTH) and provides radiation safety services, including personal radiation monitoring services, to a range of NHS and private customers throughout Northern England.
NMPCE is intending to conduct a tender to contract for the provision of Approved Dosimetry Service (ADS) for both Assessment of External Dose and Co-ordination & Record-Keeping services.
Dosimetry requirements include body, collar, lens, ring and finger stall allocations plus area monitoring. Issue periods ranging from 1 to 3 months. All dosimeters must be suitable for standard healthcare applications and be able to withstand cold sterilisation processes.
Access to dose data via an online portal is required for both NMPCE and client representatives. Nominated NMPCE staff will require access to all data while all others may only access relevant data.
To ensure results are accurate and not exposed to any further radiation within the transportation process, the dosimetry services provider must demonstrate that dosimeters will be shipped to, and from, a UK based location.
