IAEAL 15 00973. FOREWORD. The first international conference addressing RADIATION PROTECTION of patients triggered an International Action Plan that has since been guiding efforts in patient PROTECTION worldwide.

7 The M laga conference, held in March 2001, provided very broad international input on the status of RADIATION PROTECTION of patients at the time, and allowed accurate prediction of future trends. But recent years have witnessed significant increases in medical RADIATION uses, as well as developments in RADIATION PROTECTION , which need to be taken into account. For the first time in history, several countries are experiencing population doses from medical uses of RADIATION that exceed those from natural background RADIATION and have fully eclipsed those from other human sources. There is no doubt that the application of ionizing RADIATION and radioactive substances in diagnostic, interventional and therapeutic procedures in MEDICINE is beneficial for hundreds of millions of people each year. However, employing RADIATION in MEDICINE has to involve carefully balancing the benefits of enhancing human health and welfare and the risks related to RADIATION exposure.

8 There is a need for a holistic approach which includes partnership between national governments, civil society, international agencies, researchers, educators and professional associations aimed at identifying, implementing and advocating solutions; and leadership, harmonization and coordination of activities and procedures at an international level. Ionizing RADIATION in MEDICINE involves the deliberate and direct exposure of humans, and there is a strong and continuing need to protect patients from unnecessary and unintended exposure, and also to protect medical staff, in particular, from incurring high doses. Unnecessary exposure of patients can arise from medical procedures that are not justified for a specified objective, from the application of procedures to individuals whose condition does not warrant such intervention, and from medical exposures that are not appropriately optimized for the situation in which they are being used.

9 Unintended exposure of patients and medical staff can arise from unsafe design or inappropriate use of medical technology. The number of occupationally exposed workers is much higher in MEDICINE than in any other professional field, and individual occupational exposure varies widely among those involved in medical care. Recent years have seen an increased recognition of the importance of communication with patients and patient organizations on medical RADIATION PROTECTION , as well as the value of openly sharing knowledge on adverse events involving medical RADIATION sources. Considering these issues and taking account of current trends and developments, it became necessary to organize a conference to focus efforts in this area for the next decade and to maximize the positive impact of future international work in RADIATION PROTECTION in MEDICINE . Thus, with the World Health Organization as co-sponsor, and the Government of Germany through the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety as host, the International Atomic Energy Agency organized the International Conference on RADIATION PROTECTION in MEDICINE : Setting the Scene for the Next Decade.

10 The conference was held in Bonn, 3 7 December 2012, and aimed, in particular, to: Indicate gaps in current approaches to RADIATION PROTECTION in MEDICINE ;. Identify tools for improving RADIATION PROTECTION in MEDICINE ;. Review advances, challenges and opportunities in the field of RADIATION PROTECTION in MEDICINE ;. Assess the impact of the International Action Plan for the RADIATION PROTECTION of Patients, in order to prepare new international recommendations, taking into account newer developments. The conference was attended by 536 participants and observers from 77 countries and 16 organizations. Eight topical sessions and four round table discussions were organized in a one-track programme that allowed all participants to follow all discussions. In addition, the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic RADIATION (UNSCEAR) and the European Commission (EC) hosted lunchtime breakout sessions to address state of the art developments in their respective areas of expertise.
