Health centres play an important role in performing X-ray examinations in Finland because about 40 % of X-ray examinations are done there. In some small health centres, people who lack the proper radiation protection education are performing X-ray examinations. The work of health care personnel conducting X-ray examinations and their need for education and training in radiation protection were studied in 16 health centres. Other than radiographers, about 60% of the staff members participating in this study replied that their education was not adequate and that they would need additional education and training.
