Indeed. In the UK, the Engineering Council is the governing body (regulator) for Engineering Technicians (which is what we are).
But as we know, you need to be a member of a suitable Institute or Society in order to be Registered. In my view there should be no compulsion, but if a tech wants to join in the fun, the question must be:- which Institute or Society to join?
We always used to go for SERT or S.X-Ray.T. The latter disappeared when it was absorbed by the (then) I.Hosp.E. I'm not sure what became of SERT (it's probably known as something else now), but I remember that they used to dish out a good "magazine"!
Perhaps IPEM fullfils the need (I don't know) ... but, on the other hand, maybe a new "biomed tech" club is indeed the answer!
