Key definition
Monitoring definition What does Monitoring mean? Monitoring, in radiological protection practice, is the measurement of ionising radiation levels, airborne concentrations of radionuclides, surface contamination and other quantities of radioactive material, and the use of those results to evaluate potential exposures and doses.

Practice notes
CQC prosecutions tracker
This Practice Note outlines key prosecutions for health and social care offences brought in England by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) since 2015. Designed as a tracker, it helps practitioners review the types of sentences being handed down for breaches of health and social care law. For material on the CQC’s remit, powers and functions, refer to Practice Notes: Care Quality Commission (CQC) and Care Quality Commission—Inspections and reviews. Under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (HSCA 2008), the CQC is the principal Enforcement body for matters of safety and the quality of treatment and care involving any health or adult social care provider registered with the CQC. Bringing criminal proceedings is only one tool within the CQC’s wider suite of enforcement powers; for further detail on that range of powers, see Practice Note: Care Quality Commission—enforcement powers. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE), local authorities and the police/Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) also carry responsibilities for investigating and prosecuting offences arising in health and adult social care environments.

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
