Article 28
1. Within 5 years after the entry into force of this Act, activities enumerated in the job description of a specialist in medical physics may be performed by persons in the process of acquiring specialisation in medical physics.
2. Within 5 years after the entry into force of this Act, in a healthcare facility active in the field of x-ray diagnostics, interventional radiology or nuclear medicine operations referred to in Article 33h (3) of the Act amended in Article 1 can also be performed by an individual employed in this healthcare facility who has completed 2nd degree studies or a single degree master programme in physics, biophysics, medical physics, technical physics or biomedical engineering.

Paper on Diagnostic imaging referral guidelines for physicians
It is with great pleasure that we inform you that the efforts of the National Centre and the funding from the Ministry of Health have led to the extension of the subscription to the website “Diagnostic imaging referral guidelines for physicians”. At the same time, free access to online publications has been maintained for all healthcare facilities in Poland. We encourage you to read the paper on Guidelines on the termedia.pl platform:
Report from the 12th National Conference “Ionising Radiation in Medicine” PJOMED 2021
The 12th National Conference “Ionising Radiation in Medicine” PJOMED 2021 took place on 13-14 September 2021 and was organised by the National Centre for Radiation Protection in Health Care. This cyclical event is intended to deepen the awareness concerning the application of ionising radiation in medicine. This year, for the first time, the Conference was organised in the hybrid format: participants were present either in-person at the venue in the Didactic and Conference Centre of the European Institute in Łódź or online at a dedicated online platform. Online participants could follow live streaming, choose the interpretation channel (English or Polish), and actively participate in discussions and the exchange of experiences and views on the subject-matter at hand.
This edition of the Conference focused in particular on essential amendments to the Act Atomic Law and quality control of radiology equipment. The event was attended by speakers from Poland and other countries. Lectures were delivered, inter alia, by: Piotr Korzecki and Edward Raban from NAEA, Krzysztof Składowski – National Consultant for radiotherapy, Tomasz Kawełczyk – vice-Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Strzeminski Academy of Art in Łódź, Hanna N. Waltenburg from the Danish Ministry of Health, and Ed McDonagh from the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust.
Dariusz Kluszczyński, Director of the National Centre for Radiation Protection in Health Care gave the opening speech. Next, Dariusz Poznański, Director of the Public Health Department of the Ministry of Health read the letter addressed to the participants of the Conference by Waldemar Kraska, Secretary of State in the Ministry of Health. Introduction speech was given by Łukasz Młynarkiewicz, the President of the National Atomic Energy Agency.
PJOMED 2021 was attended by almost 150 persons. Participants included supervisors who perform and supervise medical radiology procedures, i.e. physicians, electro-radiology technicians and medical physicists as well as the workers of the National Atomic Energy Agency, radiation protection inspectors, employees of accredited laboratories, and university students. In addition, the National Centre had the honour to host, among others: Leszek Królicki, Jerzy Walecki, and Andrzej Cieszanowski – Honorary Patrons of the event, Tadeusz Nierebiński – Chief Sanitary Inspector of the Polish Army, Piotr Grzelak – Voivodeship Consultant in radiology and diagnostic imaging, Janusz Dąbrowski – Voivodeship Consultant in nuclear medicine, representatives of the Public Health Department of the Ministry of Health, and representatives of the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate.
Modern format of the PJOMED 2021 Conference enabled active participation of all participants despite the distance dividing them.
The Organising Committee of the 12th National Conference “Ionising Radiation in Medicine” PJOMED 2021 expresses its gratitude to all Conference participants. We are grateful for your interest and positive reception of the event and invite to the next 2022 edition!
