Abstract
Since 1 April 2002 the National Care Standards Commission has been responsible for the registration of lasers and `intense light sources' used in private healthcare, under the Private and Voluntary Health Care (England) Regulations 2001 (http://www.hmso.gov.uk/si/si2001/20013968.htm). The IPEM Ultrasound and Non-Ionising Scientific Interest Group (UNIRSIG) provided input to the DoH consultation process through a working party, and will provide guidance to scientists, such as Laser Protection Advisers concerned with the use of such lasers. Indeed, the guidance document is nearing completion and should be published in the May edition of the IPEM Newsletter. It will also be posted on the medical physics, SRP and British Medical Laser Association (BMLA) mailbases.
