The Practical Course in Reference Dosimetry run by the National Physical Laboratory is primarily aimed at radiotherapy physicists and would benefit anyone wishing to improve their practical dosimetry techniques.

It consists of introductory lectures, given by NPL staff and experienced hospital physicists, and a series of five practical sessions. The course also provides an opportunity to view and learn about the UK primary standards for kV x-ray, high-energy photon, electron and HDR brachytherapy dosimetry.
