The MEDRAPET workshop is aimed at facilitating the discussion on issues related to radiation protection education and training of medical professionals in the EU member states. Guest speakers and members of the MEDRAPET project will present the current status, difficulties and future opportunities in the field of education and training in radiation protection. This workshop is intended for a wide audience of professionals involved in medical radiation protection such as medical physicists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear physicians, radiographers, referring physicians, engineers as well as representatives of international organizations, professional societies, regulatory organizations, health authorities, manufacturers and university students.

The MEDRAPET workshop will be a platform for exchange of ideas and knowledge relevant to radiation protection education and training for healthcare staff. It will also facilitate assessment of the level of implementation of the Medical Exposure Directive Provisions and identification of the needs and persistent gaps in radiation protection education and training of health care professionals. Results of the MEDRAPET project are going to be discussed during the MEDRAPET workshop. Τhe outcomes will form the basis for a European Guidance on radiation protection education and training of medical professionals.
Participants will experience and enjoy not only a "journey" through the latest developments in the field of radiation protection education and training, but also the actual trip to Athens, birthplace of arts, sciences and democracy.
