HERCA’s position papers on clinical audits – documents for download

We would like to inform you that on the website of the HERCA association (Heads of the European Radiological Protection Competent Authorities), the Working Group on Medical Applications, the Documents tab contains papers presenting the official position of HERCA, including on clinical audits:

  • “Clinical Audit in medical Radiological practices” (Clinical audit in diagnostic radiology, image-guided interventional procedures, nuclear medicine and radiotherapy. 2019) – https://www.herca.org/download/4739/

The documents are available in English. NCRPHC has made efforts to develop a Polish language version of the materials in the future.

HERCA members are the Radiation Safety Authorities in Europe, represented by their heads – the association includes 56 offices from 32 European countries. The main goal of HERCA is cooperation for radiation protection. Meetings of international experts are intended to discuss problems related to radiation protection and to develop common solutions to them. HERCA is also a forum for the share of information and experience, in particular with regard to the practical transposition of European legislation and international recommendations, for Radiation Safety Authorities.

We encourage you to visit the HERCA website and use the available papers!

New version of the “iRefer guidelines” Polish website

We are pleased to announce that after a busy period of preparation and consultation, a new version of the “iRefer guidelines” Polish website is launched in a test version available here. Both websites will run simultaneously for three weeks and then the new, an even better suited to users’ needs website, will replace the current website on November 6, 2023.

The new iRefer guidelines website has a refreshed and more transparent appearance. It allows you to take full advantage of the guidelines as a valuable aid for referring physicians and clinicians to select the appropriate imaging test for a specific clinical case, making it easier to find specific clinical cases and appropriate recommendations. The guidelines will be updated on an ongoing basis.

Thanks to NCRPHC renewing its subscription with The Royal College of Radiologists and financing the project by the Ministry of Health, the iRefer guidelines in Poland will continue to be available free of charge and without restrictions to all doctors.

Właściwe badanie za pierwszym razem Wytyczne iRefer to szeroko stosowane, ważne narzędzie, stworzone na podstawie dowodów naukowych i wykorzystywane w badaniach obrazowych. Przeznaczone są do użytku w codziennej praktyce szpitalnej i w gabinetach lekarskich. Przejrzysty układ witryny umożliwia szybkie odnalezienie przypadku klinicznego, co pozwala lekarzowi kierującemu na badanie łatwiej dobrać najlepszą, najbardziej bezpieczną i najwłaściwszą technikę obrazowania. Serdecznie zachęcamy do zapoznania się z nową witryną „Wytyczne dla lekarzy kierujących na badania obrazowe": tutaj

Right Test, First Time

The iRefer guidelines are aimed at all healthcare professionals to help determine the best, safest and most appropriate imaging investigations. They are important tool based on scientific evidence and intended for widely use in everyday hospital practice and in doctor’s offices. The clear layout of the website allows you to quickly find a clinical case. Ensuring that the most appropriate imaging test is conducted at the right time can have a major impact on healthcare provision more widely.

We cordially encourage you to visit the new website: here.
