EBME Forums Forums Management Professional Issues IPEM Registration

Stop exaggerating Eddie. It's only 1,000 kilometers!

I would recommend the IEEE as well - very forces friendly!

DW - I might try this out and form my own cult sorry institute!

Sorry Geoff, Metric it is! I stand corrected!

Whilst I'm here there is also another society that operates like IPEM but you can be damned if I am taking my trousers off for anybody!

Well done on the "A little self indulgence", very competent. However, it's a bit too repetitive to become a chart hit I think!!!

Cheers mate, just a little jam! thats all!

Like geoff said "Why bother" if this is the case

"I must go to Riyadh (1000 Miles) and get the signatures from two Senior Saudi Members whom I have never met in my life!"

There not worth Being associated with unless they buck their ideas up.

Its seems a shame because although few members here have offered assistance I have had no help from actual IPEM bods-reps whatsoever? As I figure the majority of their members are here on ebme.co.uk so why no input or assistance from IPEM HERE? If you ask me they are obviously not bothered about new registrants? Also as most NHS trusts ask for registration to IPEM as a prerequisite for potential employment surely IPEM have a responsibility/Monopoly! to any prospective employee to add them to their register??? I would love to challenge this in a courtroom!

PS I would love to know who is their governing body? Any ideas who to report them too?

How about the Local Authority Dustbin Wardens? They seem to be pretty thorough in their investigations!

Failing that, try Parliament (it's the highest court in the land, apparently).

For hundreds of years the House of Lords has been the final court of appeal, but a new "Supreme Court" is set to open in less than a year's time. All part of the continuing dismantling of the well established, proven, traditions of what used to be known as Great Britain (oh, sorry ... I meant "all part of the reform process deliberately voted for by the great masses of well-informed, intelligent voters" - NOT).

Most NHS trusts say that membership of a professional society is desirable not mandatory. If anything I've only seen a couple of trusts that actually said that registration or potential registration of the VRCT is mandatory which IPEM is a partner on. I certainly must admit that IPEM no longer seem to be interested in new registrants and these days if anybody is looking to join a professional society it's often the IET which has far more influence outside the NHS.

Ps. Geoff if you want to do any sort of investigation apparently you just sent in the boys in blue without permission (apparently that's what they do in parliament )
