The Philippine Association for Radiation Protection (PARP) – Cebu Chapter will hold their 5th Biennial Chapter Convention on 7 March 2009. The theme for the Convention is:

“Meeting New Challenges in Radiation Protection: The New ICRP Recommendations”.

PARP-Cebu aims to provide a medium by which its members can communicate more readily with others and through this process, advance the science of radiation protection. The peaceful applications of radiation in our country have continued to increase which brings to fore the need to draw greater consciousness of safety in the use of radiation. In this regard, the role that organizations like the PARP can play bears attention.

Scientific lectures will be delivered by experts in the field from the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute (PNRI) and the Bureau of Health Devices and Technology (BHDT)-DOH to include:

 The New ICRP Recommendations and its Implications in the Medical Applications of Radiation and Isotopes

 Security Challenges in the Use of Category 1 Sealed Sources
