IPEM and IHEEM have joined forces to launch a national survey to build a comprehensive evidence base for Clinical and Medical Engineering services across the UK.

https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/t/IPEM-IHEEM/Clinical and Medical Engineering services are fundamental to patient safety, clinical outcomes and patient experience. As healthcare becomes increasingly technology-enabled, the safe and effective management, integration and adoption of medical equipment, devices and digital technologies is essential to delivering high-quality care and supporting future innovation. These services also play an important role in translating technological research and innovation into clinical practice and realising its benefits for patients.
However, there is currently no comprehensive UK-wide picture of how these critical services are structured, staffed, managed, governed and delivered across healthcare settings.
Through this joint initiative, IPEM and IHEEM aim to better understand current service arrangements and how we can collectively support our professional communities, patient safety and service quality across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
