Rebecca has had a variety of roles, including being the Clinic Team Leader in Derriford DEF,
the Clinic Manager of the four dental education facilities, and now ensuring Governance and

Rebecca is also the Radiation Safety Lead in our Dental Education Practice. Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise (PDSE) has a duty as an employer to under Regulation 18 of the Ionising Radiation Regulations 2017 (IRR17) to appoint a Radiation Protection Supervisor (RPS). Within PDSE, the role of the RPS is incorporated into the role of the Radiation Safety Lead (RSL), with each Dental Education Facility having a dedicated RSL.  Although PDSE retains the overall legal responsibility for the radiation protection, the RSL has a crucial role to play in helping to ensure compliance with the arrangements made by the radiation employer under IRR17 and supervising the arrangements set out in local rules.
