The requirements of this document need to be understood when a new radiology room is purchased especially that from now on, electrical installations compliance management will now be measured under the NHS Performance Assessment Model (PAM).
The course is for experienced project managers, medical and x-ray engineers and focuses on the relevant points for medical radiological installations. There is a summary session at the beginning of the course that other healthcare staff may wish to attend in order to attain a brief overview of the new document.
