I try to remember to wear mine...don't always remember though! We have them hanging outside our prep room.

we have 2 sorts, 1 for everyday wear then one we have to wear on our wrists when we are in the room with xrays eg inflating chests or flouroscopy.

Not everyone has them just those of us who are in and out of xray a lot

Our practice never wore them, until we got a ticking off from the H&S inspector so now we hang them on the hooks near the stairs and mostly everyone wears theirs now when xrays are being done!

You should ideally wear them. I must admit that we don't always wear ours. Its generally an after thought.

We don't.

I know I am leaving, but is it something I should be worried about?

I wear mine when I remember. I try to put mine on first thing in the morning if I am on a theatre shift.
