The Hellenic Association of Medical Physicists was established on 15/3/1969 under the name “Association of Radiation Physicists”. It was subsequently renamed as HAMP on 17/9/1981. In accordance with the last modification of the Association’s constitution on 20/5/1997, the Association has both scientific and professional orientation. The mission of HAMP is to advance medical physics practice in Greece, through scientific workshops, courses and seminars, to promote the professional improvement of medical physicists, to advance the quality of medical services for patients and inform the general public about the use of ionizing and non ionizing radiation. HAMP is member of the European Federation of Organisations for Medical Physics-EFOMP and the International Organization for Medical Physics-IOMP and has currently more than 400 members. HAMP is actively collaborating with all major scientific and professional organizations. In the recent years, HAMP is involved in the Continuous Professional Education and Development of its members by organizing a series of national and international seminars, workshops and congresses in the fields of ionizing and non ionizing radiation.
