It is now ten years since the Union of Risk Management for Preventive Medicine (URMPM) wasfounded as an international medical society in Switzerland on April, 2002. Its headquarters has been
located in Tokyo, Japan since 2005. The main purpose of this international society is to improve andpromote a science of risk and emergency management for health sectors around the world. URMPM has
held many academic conferences in such countries as Japan, Canada, Russia, Malaysia, and Costa Rica.
The next URMPM World Congress will be held in London, UK in September 2012 (UWC2012).
While by the end of the 20th century, new topics such as clinic gene technology had been added tomedicine’s paramount concern with health, it should not be forgotten that health and safety remain
integral to human well being. In the 21st century, risk and crisis management are widely recognized as oneof fundamental aspects of human existence.
For this reason, UWC2012 is promoting internationally the improvement and promotion of safety
cultures for medical service & practice, pharmacology, infectious disease, food risk, disaster, radiation risk,etc. jointly with British Society of Risk Management for Preventive Medicine (BSRMPM). UWC2012 will
be held in London, UK in response to many requests to exchange knowledge and experiences with ourinternational experts in risk and emergency management. We are inviting experts from the UK, otherEuropean countries, North America, and Japan, plus those from several international organizations.
UWC2012 will also host many delegates from Europe, Japan, US, Canada, Australia, China, South-East
Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
Under the main theme, “The Human Factor in Risk”, the Congress will focus on risk and emergency
management in a variety of areas: medical/medication errors, infectious diseases, food risk, disastermedicine and radiation risk. It is expected that lessons from past episodes of this kind will contribute to
the improvement of safety cultures in health sectors for people around the world.
