IPEM: Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine

The Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine is a Registered Charity which exists to promote, for the public benefit, the advancement of physics and engineering applied to medicine and biology; to advance public education in the field; and to represent the needs and interests of engineering and physical sciences in the provision or advancement of health care.

AIME: Association of Institutions Concerned with Medical Engineering

Medical engineering and technology is a major growth area in the UK's health care market. Recent discussion between various institutions (professional bodies) which have an interest in medical engineering has led to a consensus opinion that, in order to be seen as a focused community, medical engineering as a profession needs to be co-ordinated across its many disciplines.

Thus, in October 1998, AIME was born. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between the six member bodies, and work is now underway to consolidate that understanding and move towards a combined voice for medical engineering as a profession.

The constituent members of AIME are:

• The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE)
• The Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE)
• The Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM)
• The Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE)
• The Institute of Materials (IoM)
• The Institute of Physics (IoP)
• The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
• The Institution of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (IPEM)
