Training activity: 7

Details

Review the local rules and safe working procedures for an MR working area and reflect on how this guides practice

Type

Observational training activity (OTA)

Evidence requirements

Evidence the observation or experience has been undertaken by the trainee.

Reflections on the observation or experience at two timepoints including contextualisation to the trainees own practice. E.g., for planned observations, a reflection before the observation and after, or for unplanned events a reflection one day after and another reflection a week later.

Considerations

• Consider:
  • Areas within an MRI unit and associated magnetic field limits
  • Hazards associated with the use of MR and measures to guard against these (static field, RF and gradients)
  • Application of MRI safety training to ensure a safe working environment
  • Responsibilities of authorised and non-authorised staff
  • Screening procedures for patients, visitors, and workers
  • Labelling within a safe working area
  • Patient safety
