DESCRIPTION:An ICTP-IAEA meeting \n	The workshop provides specialized trai
 ning on safety standards and best practices for radiation protection of pa
 tients and staff in nuclear medicine\, thereby supporting the reduction of
  potential radiation risks and fostering a strong safety culture while ens
 uring optimal patient care.\n\n	The clinical applications of nuclear medic
 ine procedures are rapidly expanding\, offering substantial benefits to pa
 tients. However\, the introduction of new technologies\, procedures\, and 
 radiopharmaceuticals necessitates specific safety measures to ensure the r
 adiation protection of both patients and staff.\n	This workshop is designe
 d to enhance knowledge and facilitate the exchange of expertise to ensure 
 the safe application of nuclear medicine techniques in both diagnosis and 
 treatment\, while addressing the challenges and risks posed by the continu
 ous evolution in this field.\n	Primarily targeted at experienced clinical 
 medical physicists in nuclear medicine\, this workshop is particularly rel
 evant for those from departments planning to introduce new methods or radi
 opharmaceuticals into clinical practice. Participants are expected to pres
 ent their department's radiation protection programme.Topics\n	• Nuclear
  medicine facility planning and shielding calculations\n	• Management of
  radioactive materials and radiation waste\n	• Workplace and personal do
 se monitoring practices\n	• Radiation protection during the production a
 nd administration of radiopharmaceuticals\n	• Practical strategies for o
 ptimizing radiation protection of patients and staff members\n	• Release
  of patients following diagnostic or therapeutic procedures\n	• Nuclear 
 medicine procedures during pregnancy and breastfeeding\n	• Prevention an
 d management of incidents and incident reporting mechanisms\n	• Safety c
