Conclusion
The toolkit has been implemented in a few hospitals and the first educational sessions have taken place. There is a big demand. The content of the educational session has also been integrated in at least one basic education program for the training of radiographers.
After introduction of the brochures and posters in the radiology department of the OLV hospital, following the procedures suggested by the toolkit, the radiographers do not feel more questioned by the patients on the topic of radiation protection.
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has largely influenced the functioning of radiology departments and courses and projects were put on hold temporarily.
The toolkit will be further promoted, and patients and public will be questioned on the content of the brochure and on the procedures suggested for further and continuous improvement of the toolkit’s material.
