Complete Personal & Environmental Dosimetry Monitoring Service

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) is intending on conducting a tender to contract for the provision of a complete personal and environmental dosimetry service to monitor employee’s exposure to radiation. This will include the supply of dosimeters, their analysis, reporting and storage of dosimetry results on a database hosted by the provider. The database will be accessed by multiple users within Radiation Physics at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH) and their external customers. Radiation Physics are required to monitor whole body doses for all staff either monthly or quarterly, depending upon their radiation work. In addition, Radiation Physics also monitor collar, finger, lower limb and eye doses for some staff. Different staff groups within a specific department may have differing monitoring regimes. Radiation Physics also periodically environmentally monitor areas on a quarterly assessment period in line with our environmental monitoring schedule covering all areas that use ionising radiation.
