The RGG was set up in early 2010 as part of an SRP initiative to increase the involvement of less experienced radiation protection professionals in the Society, and to address the specific needs of newer members of SRP. The RGG committee consists of members at different stages of their careers practising radiation protection and with a varied range of experience.
The aim of the RGG is primarily to aid in establishing a career in radiation protection by providing opportunities to gain knowledge, skills and career guidance from more experienced practitioners, and providing chances to network and communicate experiences with other RGG members. We also aim to encourage people into careers in radiation protection and membership of the SRP, and last but no means least, we aim to demonstrate the benefits of RGG activities to employers.
So who can join?
An SRP member, of any grade, who feels they would benefit from the opportunities provided by the RGG in order to establish or progress their career in the field of radiological protection. There is no cut off age for joining the RGG!

- Events: Two events have been held already and more are planned.
- Encourage RGG members to volunteer to take part in events (posters, presentations etc)

RGG EVENTS Summer 2012 “Sharing Experiences”
Have you been involved in an interesting project at work?
This event will be perfect for those of you who would like to come along and share your work with other RGG members and to practice your presentation skills!
Please email us if you have something you wish to present. The floor is open to all types of projects -the more variety the better!
If any members would like RGG to organise another RPA 2000 workshop this year, please email us. The SRP diary this year is very busy, but if there is enough demand, we will happily arrange something!
Volunteers still wanted for our Committee. Please email us if you would like to get more involved in the organising of events and be part of the RGG driving force!
We are looking for members to help us plan an event for 2013. Do you have any particular topics you would like to be covered in a workshop? Ideas can be formal lectures or informal workshop based activities. Perhaps a poster or presentation competition might give members a chance to present some exciting projects they have been working on. All ideas welcome!
