Decontamination of medical devices is an area of high importance. The ability to reproduce devices that are ‘fit for purpose’ is one of the most important facets in healthcare organisations.

Register as an Engineer

IHEEM holds a licence from the Engineering Council to register suitably qualified and experienced engineers as Engineering Technician, Incorporated Engineer and Chartered Engineer.   Such registrants are entitled to use the designatory letters EngTech, IEng or CEng as appropriate.

Professional engineering is not just a job – it is a mindset and sometimes a way of life. Engineers use their judgement and experience to solve problems when the limits of scientific knowledge or mathematics are evident. Their constant intent is to limit or eliminate risk. Their most successful creations recognise human fallibility. Complexity is a constant companion. The engineering profession in the UK is well respected internationally. Individuals aspiring to be recognised as professional engineers and engineering technicians often need independent assessment of their competence. Even for those whose reputation is secure, the process of registration offers a means to demonstrate recognition by one’s peers, and an encouragement to others. (1)
