☢️ A fantastic chance to help quantify axillary radiation exposure! All T+O surgeons - not just women - can take part. If you are interested please email BOA. If selected for the study, it is incredibly important to wear the dosimeters during every case! ⚠️

The BOA/UKHSA Dosimetry study is now open for registrations & will run for 3 months. It is looking at radiation exposure in the axilla compared to the chest wall of surgeons (at all levels). If you would like to join, please email us at [email protected] promptly to be included.

Registration call now closed: Delighted c250 surgeons across several trusts taking part in the BOA/UK Health Security Agency Dosimetry study. Looking forward to results in the autumn - watch this space! #orthotwitter Hannah Sevenoaks @Is_pilkington Charlotte Lewis Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine
