Which organization must all radiographic equipment be registered with in the UK?

The organization that all radiographic equipment must be registered with in the UK is the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The HSE is responsible for enforcing health and safety regulations, which include overseeing the safe use of radiographic equipment in various settings, including healthcare. This involves ensuring that the equipment complies with safety standards and that proper procedures are followed to minimize risks to both patients and healthcare workers.

In the context of dental and medical radiography, the HSE sets out guidelines and regulations that practitioners must adhere to when using radiological equipment to protect patient safety and ensure the equipment operates within legal limits. This includes maintaining proper records and ensuring that all equipment is regularly inspected and maintained.

While the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) plays a crucial role in overseeing medical devices and ensuring that they are safe and effective for use, the specific registration and regulatory oversight for radiographic equipment falls under the authority of the HSE. Additionally, the FDA is primarily a US regulatory body, and the NHS is a healthcare provider that does not oversee equipment registration in the same way that HSE does.
