IHEEM AE REGISTERS
there is certainly a willingness amongst the profession to improve and update the guidance. AEs on the IHEEM registers, together with IHEEM and its Technical Platforms, have a unique opportunity to influence the Department of Health and take a proactive role in the revision of the HTMs. We should not let this opportunity slip by. It would surely be in everyone’s interests that the HTMs recommend that AEs should be registered with IHEEM.
