  2. StaffingRequirements for an FDG facility Contents • Introduction • Production Staff • Support Staff • Conclusions • Additional Resources • The facility for production of PET radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals/radiotracers will require staff representing a wide range of qualifications. • The number as well as the qualification level of personnel that will be needed in order to maintain smooth operation of the facility will be determined by the size and scope of the facility. • In general, the staff should have the formal education, training and experience that are relevant to the assigned tasks. • In a small facility, a single person may take on several of the jobs. • More about key personnel and job responsibilities can be found by following the arrow.

  3. Introduction • The number of people working at a facility, their qualification and experience are a very important, if not the most important issue, for the efficient running of a PET facility. Many times, while designing a PET facility, It may be difficult to find the right people. It is very important that the people who will be responsible for the day to day operations of the facility be identified early and have training for their area of responsibilities. • The technical supervisors and scientists should possess sufficient experience in their respective fields to guide and train the junior technical staff. The facility management should ensure that ample continuing education opportunities are provided for staff training to maintain and enhance performance. • The functions involved in the workflow process are listed in the following slides and are divided into the production staff and the support staff. It must be emphasized that the staff are qualified personnel and with specialized training.

  7. Conclusions The size and scope of the facility, in general, will determine the number as well as the qualification level of personnel that will be needed to maintain efficient operation. The staff should have the formal education, training and experience that are relevant to the assigned tasks. While most of these employees would be required to be regular employees, some may be contracted from outside sources (e.g., radiation protection officer and pharmacist).
