“…Later in the article-again for a technical audience-the article summarizes what we know about uncertainty at low doses by saying . .whilst we don't know everything, we do know that at the most relevant exposure levels the risk is bounded and must be quite small, otherwise we would be able to detect it" (Coates and Czarwinski 2018).…”

Communicating Radiation Risk: The Power of Planned, Persuasive Messaging

Every day, health physicists and physicians are expected to communicate effectively with concerned people, but rarely (if ever) are they given training on how to effectively communicate. In an age of social media, this paper presents the relevance of teachings from an ancient Greek philosopher. Aristotle's Rhetoric is still considered one of the most influential works on persuasive messaging. He puts the onus of effective communications on the people with the "true" and "just" information to communicate that information clearly to the audience. By communicating with intention-using the persuasive appeals of ethos, pathos, logos, and storytelling-radiation professionals can speak to their expertise in radiation science, while adapting their instructions, presentations, and communications styles to meet the needs of each type of audience: from scientists to concerned citizens, from doctors to first responders, and beyond.

“…(Johnston, 2021) Sigurður Magnússon of the International Radiation Protection Association (IRPA) presented -IRPA Perspective on the Review of the System of Radiological Protection,‖ focusing on three recent consultations: a summary of the outcome of an IRPA consultation on ‗Is the system of protection fit for purpose and can it be readily communicated?' (Coates and Czarwinski, 2018), an IRPA consultation on ‗Reasonableness in Optimisation of Protection', and initial feedback gathered by a recently established IRPA Task Group on the Review of the System of Radiological Protection. The latter has 30 members from 20 IRPA Associate Societies representing thousands of professionals from all regions of the world.…”

The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has embarked on a process to review and revise the current System of Radiological Protection (‘the System’). To stimulate discussion, ICRP published two open-access articles: one on aspects of the System that might require review, and another on research which might improve the scientific foundation of the System. Building on these articles, ICRP organised the Workshop on the Future of Radiological Protection as an opportunity to engage in the review and revision of the System. This digital workshop took place from 14 October to 3 November 2021 and included 20 live-streamed and 43 on-demand presentations. Approximately 1500 individuals from 100 countries participated. Based on the subjects covered by the presentations, this summary is organised into four broad areas: the scientific basis, concepts, and application of the System; and the role of ICRP. Some of the key topics that emerged included: classification of radiation-induced effects; adverse outcome pathway methodologies; better understanding of the dose–response relationship; holistic and reasonable approaches to optimisation of protection; radiological protection of the environment; the ethical basis of the System; clarity, consistency, and communication about the System; application of the System in medicine; and application of the principles of justification and optimisation of protection.

“…Suggestions to extend the definition to include the protection of non-human species or the protection of the environment are controversial'. The current IRPA evaluations of radiation protection are similar (Coates and Czarwinski, 2018), and only refer to protection of humans.…”

Radiological protection of the patient in veterinary medicine and the role of ICRP

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

At the request of the Main Commission of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), Task Group 107 (TG107) was set up to consider the issue of radiological protection of the patient in veterinary medicine. TG107, who authored this article, brought together information relating to the use of diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology in veterinary medicine. A number of specific areas were identified that appeared to be appropriate for attention by ICRP. These included the use of dose quantities and units, the need for re-evaluation of stochastic and deterministic risks from ionising radiation in animals, and the growing use of imaging and therapeutic equipment for animals that is little different from that available to humans. TG107 unanimously recommended that it was both appropriate and timely for ICRP to consider and advise on these issues, and the Main Commission agreed. This paper summarises the findings of TG107.
