The 2012 conference aimed 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.
In 2017, the International Conference on Radiation Protection in Medicine: Achieving Change in Practice reviewed actions and developments since the Bonn conference, with a focus on progress in response to its Call for Action. The Conference reviewed the overall approach to the implementation of these actions and look at how international organizations and other stakeholders could harmonize their actions for better impact. Stakeholders discussed the new developments affecting radiation protection in medicine.
