The Ionising Radiation (Medical Exposure) regulations (IRME) 2000--radiological considerations.

1) IRME regulations apply to the trust and not to the individual clinician. 2) Each trust must have written regulations outlining how the IRME regulations are to be applied locally. 3) The IRME regulations and, almost certainly, the local directions, have the force of the law and breaches may be dealt with by both the criminal and the civil courts. 4) All radiological examinations using ionising radiation must be reported either by a radiologist or a clinician, and the report must be filed in the patient's case notes. 5) It is unlawful to request a radiological examination if it is not to be reported. 6) No regulation mentions the quality or timeliness of the radiological report.
